Ended Halloween Hatch-A-Long 2018

[JaeG]

can't wait to see!!! how many different birds/animals do you have????

We've got the Button quail, Coturnix quail, Society finches, Bourkes Parakeets, cockatiels, a pair of ringneck doves and their first baby they hatched who is very tame, and the chickens. Plus 3 cats and a dog. We are going to be moving soon (so I'd hoped my birds hadn't noticed it was spring) and I'm not sure how we are going to doing it!

feeling very frustrated right now. my external thermometer/hygrometer has decided to read 5+/- * low!! the humidity seems accurate but incubator temp won’t read over 96. I used hubby’s meat thermometer to double check and recalibrate but it doesn’t read .5* so i’m holding it at 99 and leaving it in. I candled 1 egg last night and looked normal development with start of spider veining so hopefully it’s just the thermometer i bought. I tried to look as quickly as possible so I wouldn’t lose too much heat. hubby said i could bring incubator in the house, but i’m not sure of a good/safe place to put it.

Do you have cats? why not the house... Is there a room to put it away?

I use to keep mine in our closet. It is a walk-in closet (not big by any stretch of the imagination). I put a chest of drawers in there, with the incubator on top. No one messed with it but me. Now that my kids are bigger ours is in the den.
