Keeps your water warm to increase humidity.

OOOHHHH! Duh! Thank you.
So I guess they are just like a heat element that you attach + and - to each end?

Great!

Put them back in but that won't help the second half if it is still that cool. Can you put it in a small closet? Or create a mini room out of cardboard.

Short term (a few minutes) temperature swings won't affect internal egg temperature much.

You'll love the Welsummers when you see those in the egg basket. Be careful with them this summer though, Welsummer is the only breed I've lost to heat.
In that situation, I'd build the pens for what I ultimately want. You can always move birds around between flocks down the road. Get the extras of the breeds you want now. You can always sell them at POL if you have too many.
Have you ever driven up to Cackle? They have dark brown. Estes has light brown.
There should be several breeders near you with all the breeds you want. There's a guy in Niangua with light brown.
Search for those breeds here.

Nice! That's a lot of meat.
Are they running now?
We have a few lakes with Stripers. There's an outfitter on a river feeding lake Norfork. If you ask, they'll call when the stripers are running up the river and you have to be able to go on a moment's notice. I need to do that sometime. They get into the 20+ lb. range on that river.
Missouri record is 65lbs. Previous was 60.

That would be cool.
I worked as a contractor for a while programming their feed mills. Them and most of the other major poultry producers around the world.
There was a huge closed facility in Indonesia that was a hatchery, grow out facility and processor of broilers. They supplied a large percentage of all frozen chicken to Europe. The feed ingredients came into the mill by train on one end and out the other end went frozen chicken.

I'd love one of those big totally automatic incubators. I built a big prototype that I'm still perfecting.


Nor am I. Except for a visit to the hospital last month for what I thought was pneumonia, I haven't been to a doctor in 9 years.
At the hospital they poked over a dozen holes in me.

On the first point. The outlet itself is worn out. The tension is gone from the female slots in the receptacle If they swap it out with a new one, that will take care of it.
Same thing happened to me with my monster incubator plugged into an old outlet in my cellar. Incubator was cold and the weight of the 8/3 cable pulled it out. It was almost as old as when the house got electric.


Congratulations!

That's beautiful.
I wish I had that much room. I guess I'd have to move to KS.

I bought one when I was losing birds to mink. It worked. I woke up, ran out to the coop and was able to save half of the birds in that building.

It's been extremely windy for the last 5 days. We usually don't have more than 1 or 2 like that.

What do you expect? After all, you capitalized it and spelled it like a man's name so that makes it a proper noun. Did you mean been?


Whatever day of the week you set them, the same day of the week and the same time will be the end of day 21. If the bulk hatch earlier than that hour, temps could have been high, after that hour, could have been low. (there are other reasons for early/late but that's the first thing to consider)

That thought finally occurred to me, but I wasn't about to get up @ 0:dark 30 to do anything about it.

It looks that way.

Not sure how one would hook up power to it but yes it's a heating element for the water.
"2.Humidity tube is an electrothemal pipe by heating inner water to raising the humidity for incubation"
