DH not a shooter or hunter?

DH would love an Arsenal but he is a bleeding heart. Still loves the guns for sport though.

Nope.
Maybe for me. He doesn't drink much.

The wires on the adapter red & black?

Only thing I have to offer about the fans is I believe you'll want them directed at the bottom of the heat source, assuming that's a bulb or two.

Fans will be hitting the bulb and below it as to avoid hot spots. Not sure on the color of the wires on the adapter as they both have that black coating to them. So I don't know if theres a diff color underneath.

Hello I have 18 chicken eggs in my homemade incubator with a fan should I turn off the fan on hatching day?

No leave it on and make sure chicks can't get any body parts in the blades.

All but 1 of my marans eggs were infertile. I am not sure about the one but it is darker inside so we will see.

no never turn off they need that oxy at end of hatcch!
VENTILATION (OXYGEN)
Hatching at High Altitudes post #37908
O2 deprivation to day 10 of incubation followed by regular oxygen concentrations leads to stronger chicks post #33815
NEVER USE VENT holes as a means to Control HUMIDITY especially during HATCH DAYS!

Quote: gotcha good luck all mine both batches infert cept three eggies!! ughhh

Alright so, funny story. I went in to check on the stored eggs and realized the egg turner had moved. So im looking at it thinking maybe its not supposed to move yet... then it hit me. Biggest facepalm moment of my life. I forgot to set it up properly. So in the middle of fixing it the eggs came out (yes i forgot to remove those too) and one broke. The other is fine tho. But i got it fixed. Going out to collect more eggs now.

oh NO MATT!!!

All but 1 of my marans eggs were infertile. I am not sure about the one but it is darker inside so we will see.

Can't do much about infertile eggs.... Maybe the next hatch will be better... Hugs.

Target shooting is a lot of fun all by its lonesome, 'specially with a .22; not nearly as costly as more powerful rounds. If you do buy .22's, get bolt actions, they're more accurate, normally, than lever or pump actions.
