Halfway through the hatch. Eco 20 has humidity too high, Ova Easy had temp too low, Igloo is just right. But they are all about halfway through. nice mix of happy chicks!

What breed are they?

Just khaki Campbell ducks.... Nothing fancy..... It's a trial run..... I figured a few things out... Plus it'll be easier in the summer when the house temp isn't bouncing all over the place.
I think I'm going to build an insulated e enclosure to put the bator in and get the cradle so I can keep my grubby hands out.

Good deal SC. A little Clementine clone? That's awesome. Does Mrs Flock like her? Good deal on Jack! Sorry again about Johnny. At this point Johnny's just annoying! Good riddance . Really right? You made a good choice...gees, he sure as heck isn't gonna contribute to your lines! Sorry again SC. But he's in the past now so...what a relief eh?
Look at that precious little thing!
Dan, I hope Mrs. Dorathy escaped in all the commotion anything's possible. Keep looking for her

Walnut...I just wanna scoop all them little cuties up!!

Sorry Phil..hope your feeling a little ok today!
Good!
Oh bad!

Feeling better... Plus it's always easier to deal with breathing issues during the day.... It's hard not to have anxiety when you can't breath.... That just makes it worse.... Is a viscous cycle.

Is it just the autocorrect or is there other issues now?

It kept refreshing.... Fixed the autocorrect issue by changing keyboard to Google keyboard......

I thought you had a Brinsea? You shouldn't be having temperature fluctuations like that.

I'm guessing chickens (roos) are horn dogs like ducks.      Whatever those are in the pic, I like 'em.

Hope you have lots more weekends just like it.        Thanks!  Appreciate it.

ill let u know what he looks like as i grow em out, b the first crested bird that i hatch and raise

thanks, i hope ur duckys continue to do well, i been watchen em

I would pass, actually... I love the 1602N for a hatcher, but new at our co-op that's listed for $44.95... I know it says new, but I'd prefer getting new from the source in case of issues...

Plus, you've got better quality already... I wouldn't trade even a smaller one of those for that... jmo...

i didnt even consider how the manufactures errors havent been tested thanks! I was thinkn i could double that 20s capacity with it and selln the 20 would pay for it plus a doz Really Good eggs but ima chill your right ive better quality why downgrade unless i Have to.

Thanks Walnut, that you continue to have healthy hatchers!

Phil i was so happy with everyrhing else i said flock the TV an went outside always lots to do n the yard.

This afternoon starts day 21 in the classroom hatch ive been helpn in i forgot to mention that yesterday. Im thinkn ima tryn talk the teacher into another set and see if we can improve her tecnique for future years this is what they lookd like las i saw, i had tol her to hold off on the water til day 19 as aircells were kinda small, and add shelf liner the wire mesh scared me!

That's true. Phil, why are you opening it to turn eggs? You can just tilt the incubator to the next flat. Temps do not waver on these unless there is sun shining on it, too much water spilling out, or the lid freqently opened.

I fill the water troughs 2/3 full, then fill with eggs, tip to one surface back from upright, next turn is one surface forward of upright. At the end of a week I refill the water troughs to 2/3 and resume turning. At the end of week 2 I do the same. 3 - 4 days before hatch I set the incubator in the upright position, and the day before hatch I add a piece of blotter cloth for a wick and fill the wells to the top. I don't open until it's too crowded for eggs to hatch when I clear out the population when no one is zipping if I can be quick about it. SC doesn't even open then.

Walnut did your truck get stolen or accidentally toed off? What a nightmare! I'm really sorry. Hope it's found as you left it.

Not my truck...I'm just a bystander.
