Where is your cold spot at? If I had to guess, it's at the bottom opposite the fan end. Please advise.

I'm just

today, I don't know what the heck is going on. The thermostat is all crazy. I. wish I hadn't touched anything now. I can barely move the spot check and get a major temp swing. It's ridiculous. I keep moving and changing things now to get something I'm comfortable with and I feel like quitting!

oh and the 60w light bulbs just go out when I tried them so I'm back to 40 w. I should move the thing back in the house, but it's a monster and I don't have a good place to keep it .

These are some of the eggs i am going to set!

Some q's.... just cause I want to double check on some wording and because I am paranoid anyway...

Does sweating automaticly mean no-go? I got the prettiest turqoise egg color but it got cold and sweated slightly when I brought it in. Is it OK to chance? (bottom 3rd from right in pic)
Should I let eggs rest for 24 hours if they are home eggs? wording was a bit funny in the article.

yes set all eggs!!! no but studies say hatchability is best around 5-7 days old due to ph and air cell sizes

Quote: no THANK YOUUUUU

Quote: it should make a nice bench! I am sorry your having such issues

the fan is most likely the issue do you have a tiny table top fan you can set in there, you have plenty of room ... do you have a vent hole near the fan??? I do in all the bators

 

[Sally Sunshine]

not directly behind the fan but about an 1.5" to the side

just what I wanted to hear! (the oldest of these eggs is 2 days- will be 3 tomorrow at 8:00. That means they will be 5ish by set date!

yup, I noted time collected on eggs, and yes, i am crazy.

)


anyone else mark date, time, and which hen laid it on the egg carton?

Has anyone here ever hatched or attempted to hatch a double toilet? I just found a huge egg in my boxes and just candled it and it is a double yolker. And I want to put it in my next batch to go into the Bator.

I've always wanted to, but my hens wouldn't have any parts of it; they knew I already had a double holer out back

That sounds like quiet a challenge. How would you control the humidity?
