How will you keep Humidity correct?

 

[KiwiandPeachthePigeons]

I dont have anything to keep track of the humidity.

We once had an electrical outage due to a storm. I started up my vehicle, used a cigarette lighter adapter to plug in the incubator and continued running my incubator for about 4 hrs til the power came back on. Eggs hatched out with no issues. Not sure how much jossling your driving would cause, and/or any harm thereby, but they do sell the power converters.

man, I would NOT like to be in that position. if there's only three, it may not be too hard to bring them, and you could just bring a small bin to keep them in, but it's your choice.

Three eggs is down to two. One was a yolker. Tomorrow’s day 18 and I’m really stressed out about moving them while in lockdown.

 

[KiwiandPeachthePigeons]

I just wrapped them up in some socks and put them tightly in the egg turner so they do t slide around. I’ll also wrap the ‘bator in a blanket. Is this good enough?

 

[KiwiandPeachthePigeons]

And I also packed the egg turner with old rags so it doesnt slide. I'm getting ready to go now and OH MY GOSH IM SO ANXIOUS. Im already worried about something going wrong during hatching but moving them on top of that? I don't like this at all... Ive already opened the incubator twice today and will have to do it once more to take out all of the packing material...

Week after next, i have some eggs that go into lockdown. Problem is, I wont be there to actually put them in lockdown. Nor will i be there to remove the chicks and adjust things. So I was thinking maybe I can take them with me, incubator and all. The place im going is 47 minutes away. Would they be able to survive all the jostling and going without power for that log before lockdown? I really don't want them to quit on me, and i only have that option.

I once drove my incubator with hatching eggs in it to a library, and it worked all right. It was pretty far away, too.

 

[KiwiandPeachthePigeons]

Ahhhh I'm still extremely worried about it though... I get soooo worried over all the smallest things.
