How do I stablize Temp.

[KYBOY]

Very good advice, wafers are cheap and easy to replace..About $6.50 at the feedstore here..

Still need to test the wafer but won't be testing temp. for a bit my brand new thermometer/hydrometer broke

you can still do all those other things that I explained to you.. you need the therm only for fine tuning.

you can use any old therm for this rough set-up..

The wafer works!!

and the temps went to 91 degrees and the light turned of I turn the temp. up need to check it later and get the right temp but it's working

One Question what humidity do I need (my next project)

 

[jvls1942]

OK>>> shoot for 40% at 99.5F

try pouring 1 ounce of water through one of the vent holes on top. give it some time to evaporate and show on your hygrometer..

Temps about 100.5 right now so only one degree off

Will work on humidity later, when I get a new hydrometer.

It took me a week to stabilize temps and humidity in the bator and then in the LG I use as a hatcher. Thank goodness I started messing with it many days before I had eggs waiting. I was ready to SCREAM and then all of the sudden... all the little numbers were stable. I think it probably had to do with the fluctuation of the room temperature, rainy days and then no rainy days and my own crazed control-freak self. I started thinking like a bird with a brain the size of a pencil eraser and whew! It all came together.

My LG is the same way..We are in bad need of incubator space right now and I had to break it out of storage

Took me about 5 days of just fiddling with it every so often but now its holding at 101.0*-101.5* (still air) very well..Your right, room temp has a lot to do with it, espically a still air
