Very nice. I'd love to visit. Are you near Hifa?
What are the tall spikey things in the harbor? Are they cranes?

It is shocking I get any chicks out of it. I was going to put a couple of the eggs due today in a pedigree cage. When I went up to do so, there was already one out and 3 more pips/zips so I was too late.
Worse yet, the temperature was 107. Normally when I see a spike like that, I immediately open the incubator to try to get the internal egg temp down quickly. I didn't want to do so since I didn't want to shrink wrap the others.
I thought I came up with a good idea but I was mistaken. I put a vacuum on one of the large air holes. I was able to drop the temperature to 98 but then I realized, I brought in so much outside air so quickly, it was in effect like opening the incubator.
I had another idea but it was too late by then.
I have a funnel and tube system to fill the water channels from outside. I should have put some ice water in it to bring down the temp without lowering humidity.

Thanks, we shall see.
At least I know whatever chicks do manage to hatch should have good vigor.

In the beginning I had temp spikes and it freaked me out. At one point I thought for sure I'd cooked them. I was blowing in one hole trying to push air out the other. Afterwards I thought I may have introduced a lot of bacteria that way. I realized that my spikes were due to the thermometer/sensor sliding around during the auto turning, so I used scotch tape to secure it in 1 spot and haven't had any issues since. However, I do have to have additional thermometers and hygrometers because the one that came with it is junk.
