Going into lockdown tomorrow. Mine are due on Wednesday. I set them at night, so would I wait until tomorrow night to put them into lockdown?

I do I always wait until night to put them into lockdown because Istart them a sun down as well!

Had to leave my newest batch of eggs in the new homemade incubator this morning before leaving for the day. Prayed for them all day. Got home to a nice humid bator at between 98 and 100*, thank GOD!!! I covered one more hole to see if it brings the temp up a little more. (2 days ago the same 25watt bulb made the incubator 120* and now I can't get it to 100 hardly....what the heck???

both my other bators are holding steady with temps, but I give up on humidity at the moment. It is SO dry in my house, it's just getting sucked right up!

One of my BR pullets outside has went and grown up on me in a weeks time with tons of rain, her waddles and comb are HUGE all of a sudden!! 21 weeks looks good on my little ladies!

Hope you all had a great day!!

You and I have the same set-up........go to Lowe's and get the $8 lower water heater thermostat! My bulbs turn on and off now as I set them (set it 1/8" from 125 to start with) - I'm having MUCH better luck controlling my temps now. I don't have to watch them like a hawk anymore - well worth the $8! I just cut my light cord on one side, wired it in to that and viola......so simple! Do you want an updated picture of my set-up?
