@prizepete @Sally sunshine Is it possible to run dry untill I see a pip?

you can... Just see what others say

I have all my channels filled with water but the humidity will not go above 45 is that ok or what should I do

Put paper towels in there

I just did and it already climbed to 50. What should I try and keep it at. I have read so many different numbers.

it just depends.....



There I think I am up to speed... I am sitting in my room with the incubator waiting for these darn eggs to do something

I'm doing the same thing...... I keep thinking that maybe I hear peeping, but then I think I am just tricking myself...

I am in trouble now. I found a local breeder while looking for some Barred Rocks that because they have so many right now were selling fertile purebred eggs for four dollars a dozen. I could not resist so the lady who has the cabinet Incubator is filling it with some I am not doing, but I bought two dozen RIR, two dozen Barred Rocks, one dozen Welsummer, and a dozen silkie eggs. I get half.
I was proud of my coop last night it dipped into the teens, but the slightly frozen water from the run I set inside for the night and it was thawed when I grabbed it to put out this morning. I did plug the big one in just in case. I insulated with this thick foam insulation that they throw away at a business next to where I deliver(yes dumpster fishing).

Hi Everyone!! I've been busy, but I tried to catch up on the posts!!

I love visiting the snow, but I hate living in it. The worst was when your car doors locks would freeze and you couldn't unlock them - yes back then I did not have keyless entry!!

I had a roommate that hit a bear at about 65 MPH. The bear got up and started attacking the pickup. He had to wedge himself down under the crushed dash and wait for the bear to run away. No fun!

Wild pigs - crazy mean. I've been treed before. Pet pigs, the ones I have met are sweet, fat and gentle and friendly to the chickens. Mostly blind, but great sense of smell.

Congrats on all the Pipping!! And the hatching!!

I hope everyone is feeling better!!!

Me - I swapped my 1/1 HAL eggs and the ones I set on 12/24, so now the 1/1 eggs are in the still air incubator, the 12/24 eggs with an egg turner are in the one with a fan. There is better ventilation holes in the still air, so now I have 2 very wet sponges in there and we have to add water every hour to keep the humidity between 60 - 70. I also did not use an egg carton to hatch these eggs, they are flat on the bottom of the 'bator, so lower than the first hatch I did (which I did in the one with a fan). What temp should I be running these guys at? When I had the egg turner in this one, the temps were easier to keep high. Now that these eggs are so low, its been tough. I feel like I'd actually kill the eggs trying to get the temps up.

Thanks!
