INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Chaos18]

I know, I am having no problems with it... YET.

I did, but I was told otherwise on my thread and I was told I should leave some room so a temp spike would not kill them since I am using a styro.
I am using a probe to see what the internal temp of an egg would be, but I won't put too much stock in it as it is an old probe and I don't know if I did it right....

If your bator is setup correctly you shouldnt have to plan for it to screw up. I would get the temp in the 101-102 range on top of the eggs, make sure it stays there and go for it. Could also add some stuff to act like a heat sink so you dont lose temp when opened.

Would bleached rocks work?

Good for you!!!

Sorta... I am getting mixed advice on the temp to run, and I don't know what to do since the LG is still air. I put in a probe thermo I had lying around (after testing it and finding it was 5 degrees off!

) and it is warming up now.

Under 102 I believe is the general consensus. Does Sally's Hatching 101 not address that?

All of them will be dead of old age before you're not at work

[Newchics]

Just picked up my blue/golden phoenix eggs I bought. First time getting shipped eggs

So questions for everyone.

How long should I wait to put them in the incubator?

When should I put the autoturner on?

Do they stay at the same temp as all eggs incubating and if so what temp do you think?

Thanks everyone in advance for suggestions

Yeh
I know there's not as much headroom in there as a hovabator
You could use little Tupperware containers like fer sauce, filled with


Not sauce

You can snap the top on in case it tips

Or could I put em in the bottom, under the wire, just not in the wells?
