Oh my goodness they're so adorable!! Great job on the incubator to get such good hatch rates!
Not that I need another incubator...but I do have an old cooler...hehe. Which DIY did you use or did you come up with this on your own?

First hatch was 9/11 and this time 15/16 The one that didn't hatch was fully developed but just didn't make it past lockdown. I love the colors! My Lavender Orp did good. Yellow, blue and one black chicks from my CA white hen, brown from my Buff Orp girl, 2 sexlinks from my Barred Rock hen and then the rest from my Australorp. They are too cute for words!

How did you do your ventilation? Iam using an old syrfome cooler! Thats the only thing i havent figured out yet????I forgot to add I used a picture frame on the top for look through, that left holes in the lid so I stuffed it with cotton to keep the heat in. My temps range from 99-104 but usually hold pretty steady at 100/102.

I have tons and tons of holes! My temp will not go down! Iam using a 25w light bulbI drilled a few holes in the sides and can cover them if needed. I recently added a fan, that hatch is due Sat. I lost a lot early so interested to see how many hatch.
