Ok This weekend I made a incubator using plans I found on this site. All up and running but I am overwhelmed at all the information and would like to pose a few questions, Feel free to add any other info I could need.
Forgive my stupidity.
Ok I will be putting in the bator east Indies and Call duck eggs next Monday. (I know bad choice for first eggs
)
1. question about temp. What temp do I go by the one in the waterwiggler or the air temp? ( I bought a gage at walmart that has the probe so it does outside inside and humity.) Because my water wiggler I am getting 99.5 - 100.00 every time I look at it the other temp varies 2 degress or more.
2. what do you recomend the humidity to be at? Mine is running 60-65%
Too much I think so how do I remedy that? more vent holes?
3. How big does the vent holes need to be? My bator is a foam ice chest.
4. I do not have a turner so I will be doing that by hand. So what method does everyone recomend? In egg carton at a angle back and forth or on the eggs on the side.
5. Mist or No Mist?
ok all you experienced hatchers give me the lowdown.
