**Hatch complete+Pic**-Day 22 for 3 in wiperbator

[Hangin Wit My Peeps]

WOW that is awesome...I would have never thought of that in a million years! lol My hubby and his genius IQ (literally) is thinking of ways to make an incubator where you can control humidity for 21 days. lol I HOPE he does it! I'm sure if he does it will be hooked to a computer! He's a computer engineer

Okay, i missed the thread for the wiperbator somehow. I have a wipes warmer that i currently use for my son, but am going to yardsales this weekend. I know you are using the light for heat, so does that mean you are not using the warmer that is made into the wipe warmer? If you have answered this somewhere, i am sorry i missed it, can you point me in the direction of the thread.

I am so excited for you and this hatch!

It was a wiper warmer that I picked up second hand to try and see what temp it got to and it didn't work. So I don't know what the temp does get to. Can you stick a thermometer in yours and see what it does get to and report back to us?

 

[kellim]

Yep, going to put it in now! I will post back in a while.

You're pretty clever, Kitty! DH has my 1" curling iron I never use anymore that has something like a 38 watt heater in it. Hmm, LOL.

So far it is at 98.1 but it has only been running for about 5 hours. I will check again in the morning and post the temp it held all night.

I hope you can stablize it at 100 with flow or 102 with still air. Good luck.

I am holding steady at 101.9 and have been for several hours. It did run up to 107.1 but I had a towel wrapped around it experimenting. I will post another reading in the morning or sometime tomorrow so we can see if it holds steady!

Sorry I haven't posted for a bit. I lost the DSL internet connection. They still haven't figured out why. We were gone today and I got to wondering if I could get in via dialup. Tried it and here I am. I'm glad I didn't wipe that off the computer!

I had one pip yesterday and pass.

Today, when we got home there is a chick and the other egg is zipping. I'll post pics later when I have more time. I have to go to the barn now.


The last one just hatched!

I'm going to post their fuzzy butt pics on my chick thread:
