Somehow only one pic posted before. Here's the Brinsea with the pump.

what the heck, is it like a nebulizer or what?




hey Peep,

just cover the eggs with towels so they cant move at all and keep the heat in. do you remember when I hatched those two eggs the broody pushed out they were frozen solid? I think if your careful to not damage eggs you should be ok. think of how you can move them safely

I dont like your temps variations to be honest CH, you need to get that thermostat in soon. and make sure your thermometers are calibrated and then run exactly as it says above, you said they are on their sides so just a bit above the eggs, but not touching the eggs yep. and you also need to check cold and hot spots.

can we see this bator of yours?

Mine is at 100 measured at the middle of a horizontal egg.

Who talks to their incubating eggs? I swear everytime I talk to them some move almost in response. Not all together like I'm shaking the incubator but individually. Anyone experience this before?

I've done this. My daughter had the most response. She'd talk or chirp to them near the hatch day and they would wiggle.

you mean the pump? I guess it is kinda like a nebulizer. Its actually a pretty ingenious design. Its got a thin tube that gets wrapped around 2 prongs. The prong spin when the reading on the bator gets down to whatever its set at. There is about an inch of tubing between the 2 prongs, so if it only does a half-spin, only an inch of water (which works out to a few droplets of water) gets sent down the tube and into the bator. The water gets caught in the bator by a thick, paper-ish card, folding into a V, that hangs above the eggs.

Talk to them, sing to them! Whistle at them! They definitely respond. Play the "chick chirping" videos over the incubator. Its all stimulating.
