I can't wait to see the results of this hatch! They may be a few days behind and that's why they appear small. As another poster mentioned, your temps may be a little low for that type of incubation and have delayed development by a few days. No biggie. That just means you might hatch with me a little later in the week

If you could get some type of ballast in there for a heat sink, it might stabilize the temps a bit. For instance, I would try to custom fit a ceramic tile in there. The tile would take longer to heat up initially, but once it was heated it would radiate heat during any dips and absorb extra heat during any spikes. Overall, I think it would keep the temps much more stable. You could also use jars of water or something. Just my $0.02.

I've been curious about this myself. How are you regulating the temperature? I didn't think the thermostat on an electric skillet would work that low. I would love to try this. I've got a good sized electric skillet that's starting to show its age and would be perfect. I just didn't think I'd be able to keep it at 101*.

With a dimmer extension cord added to the thermostat on the frying pan, you should be able to adjust it pretty well. Is that a shot glass with water in it for humidity?

Great setup!

how can u use a skillet? Mine doesn't have a setting for below 200 degrees.




I was wondering about a heating pad on very low....

oh, dear. These poor little peeps are going to need therapy. Hatching in a skillet!! You're supposed to COOK eggs in a skillet, not hatch them!

That's like being born in a morgue or something...

looks great, and I hope all the rest of them have a great hatch for you. Start saving up for the chicken psychiatrist.

I suppose there's no reason it shouldn't work. I guess I'm just having a hard time getting my head around having two, in-line rheostats.

Come to think of it, I've got a boat load of crock pots laying around too. They would have a built-in ballast.
