CH what temp are you running at for incubation?

@Sally Sunshine The stakes work great for the lighter fencing, but not so well for the stiff livestock fencing. I'm hoping it works well enough. I can't say that that erosion around the fence wine makes sense to me. But, I have hopes that the grass will pull the fence back down this year.

I,have a question.what should I have the temp at lockdown for thing one.because I will be using another incubator that doesn't have a fan

Geese are slightly lower in running temps, correct?
Than most likely 100.5. That is the equivilant of 98.0 for fan, if you were running 99.5 before.

With a Forced Air Incubator (fan model) you can get the best hatch rate by keeping the temperature at 99.5º F. throughout the entire incubation period. HOWEVER, when using a Still Air incubator (no fan) at 102º F. The reason for different temperatures is that with a fan model the circulating air warms all around the egg while still air temperatures are warmer at the top of the egg than at the bottom. The temperature is measured at the level where the embryos develop (at the top of the HORIZONTAL egg).

Is it kinda like purple?

it is sort of a brick red purple mix

 

[Sally Sunshine]

Sally, still air temp for lockdown would be 100.5, if fan is 98.0-98.5. Correct?

I'm going by if you were running 99.5 with a fan for goose eggs, than 98.0 would be 1.5 degrees cooler. So therefore 100.5 would be 1.5 degrees cooler than 102....?

if you say so, I am trying to get back outside lmao

NOTE: It is now known that the different embryos communicate with each other by a series of clicking sounds,
the rate of clicking being the important feature. Ensuring the eggs on the hatching trays are in contact with each other facilitates
the synchronization of hatching where the eggs are incubated in a modern machine. This assists in reducing the time between when the first and last chicks hatch.​

After Day 18 candle you will “LOCK DOWN” your eggs. Lower the temperature see suggest temps below and increase the humidity the last three days. STOP turning and the incubator stays closed, for the next three days while the chicks hatch! If you’re having a hard time with humidity it is OK to open quickly to boost, add warm water or increase the size of the pan or add a wet sponge. NEVER ADJUST HUMIDITY BY cutting back airflow. VENTILATION is EXTREMELY important at this stage!
Researchers have found that lowering temperatures will prolong incubation,
HOWEVER it is favourable to do so at the end of incubation.
Day 19 & 20 Temp Min 98.0 Max 98.5
Day 21 Temp Min 97 Max 98.0

Very interesting as I read the entire PDF twice. How do you think the embryo's communicate to each other when my incubator fans are supper loud?

Mine are so loud that I cannot hardly hear them cheep after they hatch?

They are going to be deaf before they are born.. Got to love artificial hatching!

if you say so, I am trying to get back outside lmao 

Yer the expert!!!! I doan' wanna tell anyone anything but the truth!!!
At least check later?
(Cant blame ya for wanting to go outside- I'm going there now)
