Incubation!

[TheRealTimShady]

ok so i FINALLY got the thermo/humidty monitor for my coolerbator, just turned it on. Gonna let it run for a few hours and then dial in the temp/humidity till i get it right

hopefully eggs will go in in about 3-4 days

Is it calibrated ?

remember that you must calibrate all humidity monitors or thermometers.

For much accurate reading

I use the salt method to calibrate mines

 

[TheRealTimShady]

i have not seen this you talking about,

salt calibration you say?

 

[TheRealTimShady]

just checked up on the salt method, i'll check it out before i set eggs

which will probably be 4-5 days, after i leave the incubator on and let it do its thing

one other question, while waiting for stocks to come back, where do i store the eggs, just on the counter top?

Mine are on the dining room table in cartons, as I type. Turned when ever I walk by... Bill

I know ya mean eggs, lol, waiting for "stocks" to come back up, personally, I'm thinking its time to short $ilver...

and very cool bator M, how many you think you can stuff in there? we are ~20 days away from a "Mibotsu" hatch, can't wait, good luck!

well hopefully, i've had a problem with the light in there, its only 40 watts and i'm getting temp range from 95 to 102, so i'm gonna put a 60 watt in there and hope it works out a little better.

as far as size, right now i can fit 20, i havnt bought any egg trays, just using what i got lying around, manual egg turner made out of an old shovel handle and a lego box lid lol

what about bending up some hardware cloth into a egg holding/hatching tray?
