Thought I was helping out by giving tips!

I like to use a bunch (as many as i can fit) of sealed mason jars filled with water as a heat mass. It helps hold the temp for me. Nice clean lookin' bator!

If you ever need any kind of help on building an incubator. PM me anytime and I'll be glad to help

right now I'm getting more chicks than I can sell I think.

I'm pretty sure I have everything under control now. I've moved the thermo-switch over by the light and it's do'n great , hold'n at 99.9 by the light and 99.7 over by the egg rack

also I put a 8"x1/2" plate w/ a sponge in it and my humidity is stay'n at 48 to 55, I'm get'n ready to remount all my wires and the thermo-switch. I'm go'n to try to make a gravity feed water system, if it works I'll take pics and show what I did

and away I go.
Got a question though, I know my temps are right but I'm not sure about the humidity, I keep hear'n, see'n different amounts

is 45-55 up day 18 and 60 at lock down the normal???????????????

Thanks everyone for all your help, Peace!!!!
