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

[Sally Sunshine]

And thank you

I love seeing you guys hatching these things!!!!!!

 

[Ur-ur-ur-urrr]

your baaack!

looking good like we knew they would...... just for curiosity.... what temps are you running at?

Yep, I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!! Only briefly, but I'm here...

Glad you asked... I messed up and didn't listen to tech support at Incubator Warehouse. Since I did the ice water test on the IncuTherm Plus, and it only showed to be off +.2F, I adjusted the incubator so the IncuTherm showed 99.7F. After I got three thermometers (on day 5 of incubation... DOH!), it turned out that the thermometer on the incubator was the more accurate. I had been running the bator around 98F. After checking temp with the 3 thermometers, I immediately set the incubator back to it's original setting of 99.5, but it was still low according to the new thermometers. I offset the incubator by -.4F, and it's holding a steady 99.5F on all the thermometers... except for the IncuTherm, which was obviously off. I'm debating whether or not to bump the temp up to 100F to try to make up for the slow start on those first 5 days. Any thoughts on that???

Yeah right! Your here for good now!!!! Watch for Sally's shouty large words!!

I really don't think I can handle it...

Leave it. You'll be fine. I'd rather be a little low than high.

That would make a great signature line

I'd upload some pics but i can't. Something with the iPhone and app not working together. Or I'm an idiot. LOL

to be honest I run my bators at 100.5 for all my breeds. ignore my hygros they are not right
I think it would be smart

 

[Sally Sunshine]

there is good reason I do this.... I know I know hatcheries do 99.5 I know I know

WE ARE NOT HATCHERIES PEOPLE


do I have to go into the speech? I am tired
