January Hatch-a-long 2018

I have nothing that tells me humidity, I don't even worry about it. I have water in the troughs that is all I can do.

I'm not alone! I keep mine low too. Bring it up a bit for lock down.

This ended up coming in, but they sent a still air variety! UGH. Not happy getting something that I didn't order. So, I'm just thinking I want to order something else entirely because it looks like Amazon is going to mess it up. Can someone please recommend a good incubator in the same price range? Pretty please.

I love the still over the air!! I just took some of mine out of the fan bator, the 1558 hova..to put into the still that I just hatched my littles in. I'm going to have to use it again though, because I am getting replacements for those that ended up being more than half..not fertile! Nice folks to replace. Why don't you like the still...it does take some used to tweaking at times. Guess I'm used to it. Holds the humidity much longer than the fan bators.

If you think this waiting is awful, try Hatching ducks.

True!!

I lost one.. my husband was getting egg shells out and he had and egg in hand. Cat jumped on him and he dropped it. So far 3 out of 5 seem good

Oh, so sorry.

First one, mama bantam Favorelle, she has several babies under her. Such a cute bird.

This baby is a SG. As you can see, I've used them for welcome posts. Button quail below.

And there I am a few years back, happy with a hatch. Well then, looks like I took up most of a page. Oops...love hatching!
