We moved all the Christmas Chicks to the outside brooder coop yesterday. All 7 are still alive today.No chicks currently in the house.
But my quail have stopped laying so it may be a little while before I fill the bator again.

I have the same incubator you are using. I also have one with a fan and my eggs always seem to do better in the still air. Don't ask me why?? Anyway, I keep the temp at a steady 102 and I have never added anything to the canals except a couple pennies. It does seem like a good idea though. I have a batch of shipped eggs in right now that I started in the forced air and on day 3 it had a temp spike of 106 - 108. I fired up the still air because I never seem to have issues with it (unless the power goes out
) and moved the eggs to it. I am currently on day 7 and I will candle when I get home to see if I have any life
. I keep humidity between 20 and 30%. I'll let you know the results of my candling. Good luck with your hatch, I'm looking forward to hearing your updates
I'm glad you mentioned that (again). I'd forgotten about that thermometer, and I broke one of my FI's after the last hatch... so I'll be ordering one of those asap. Thanks, fire!
