I'm thinking about selling eggs to, but I don't want to deal with people

I know my eggs are really good, but I just can't handle complaints. I'll tell someone to fluff off

I’m so excited about the Lav Orp and the Welsummers and the Barred Rock. And of course the EE.

I’m excited about all of them though

I’m so tempted to just set the eggs right this second.

But I’ll wait. I wanna do it for the Thanksgiving hatch which isn’t until tomorrow so I should really wait haha

Plus I have to test the hygrometers and incubator humidity first. I wish I did it earlier so I could set right now

Just set them already.
You are wasting time.


What temperature is your incubator right now and what does the incubator's humidity gauge read?

Guys remind me to never get another muscovy... Mine is on my roof it won't come down either!

This is going to be quite exciting. Not the actual eggs but you freaking out all the time cause of temp fluctuations, over thinking and such. With incubating less is more in regards to screwing with it.

I know you did! I just didn’t think it would happen so soon

My attempt at adding water to the bator failed. I found the perfect little funnel thing (actually a cake decorating tip lol) to attach to the airline tubing and add water to the bator from outside so I wouldn’t have to open it. It was genius. EXCEPT. Instead of going under into the channels, it resulted in a little puddle on the incubator cause the holes in the mesh floor I guess are too small for the water to go through to the channels underneath! So I may have to cut a hole in the floor. Or take the lid off every time.

Just open the lid.
It's not that big of a deal to open it.
Hurry up and learn what it does (the humidity level) when you add water.
You should have learned this already.


Just add a tiny amount at first and wait walk away for at least an hour.
The report back with the number your uncalibrated humidity gauge reads.

Fully auto. Set and forget
