:frow Not necessarily unique, just highly uncommon. I actually kinda like being mrleeroy... Makes me feel like I'm a double-agent or something:lau


Makes me think of my son when I see it. his name is levi roy. Wife said that he would never be called leeroy but she is the only person that calls him that now.
 
You can call me whatever you want (as long as it's appropriate for the thread of course...)! Pretty sure whatever you can think of, I've been called worse

I just received the tracking number for my eggs, and it looks like it'll be Thursday before they arrive. Was hoping for Wednesday, but I've waited more than 6 months, so what's another day?

I like! That reminds me...My BIL told me yesterday that you can tell what color eggs a hen lays by the color of the place on the side of the head ( where your pic is white)

So, this is my first incubation in like a million years, it seems, and my Little Giant bator seems to want to hover at 99 degrees. If I adjust it a hair, it sticks around 100 for a while, then like 3 hours later, it's reading 104! All the while, the humidity is between 60 and 65%.

Is 99 an ok temp??? Hatching Ancona duck eggs.

Thanks!!!!

@DKFarms Hi Sue!! do you have a fan in the bator?

10/13 day old embryos begin to produce excess heat in the incubator post #27240

Questions for you!

What bator are you using?
where they shipped or your own eggs/local eggs? Shipped eggs = Change of plans
How old were the eggs at set?
They were stored and turned cool conditions?
Have you misted or washed the eggs?
How old is your flock?
Turner or no turner?
Incubated Air cell Upright or horizontal??

Fan or no Fan?
You know temps should be different for Fan vs still air models?
You calibrated thermo hygros and know not to rely on the one that came with the bator?

You have more than one thermo hygro and they had been calibrated?

You have rotated your eggs around the bator at candles?

You realize humidity is NOT a set number just a tool to get the correct weight loss in the egg?
You understand the majority of people for standard hatching eggs run the first 7 days 25-30% humidity (possibly 35%for shipped eggs) and adjusted from there for weight loss?
You understand that you can in fact candle every two days after day 7 to just keep a closer eye on weight loss so you dont need to make major changes later on?
Try to add water above in containters and not in the troughs until lockdown?
You know that you should not use the vent holes to adjust humidity?
AGAIN....You understand humidity is NOT a set number, most of us begin incubation 25-35% the first week and then adjust as needed per air cell growth/weight loss.

Can you get pics uploaded on BYC and understand that pics help us to help you?
