KDOGG331’s Hatch Thread!!!

[ShrekDawg]

All stocked up for the hatch

I might return the Walmart hygrometer though because as suspected, I took so long that my Amazon ones were there by the time I got home

Plus it’s super big and bulky.

And I gotta go get ziplock bags for the salt test cause I forgot and we don’t have any big ones haha

Anyway, I got zip ties so I can tell the breeds apart at hatch

And a journal and pencils so I can track the hatch and write on the eggs.

I agree with all this ha

Although I wouldn’t say it’d be an entire generation that doesn’t know about this stuff!! There’s still plenty being raised right!

And then there’s people like me who didn’t grow up with it but just happened to find/research it myself and get chickens and start a garden and all that lol

Where there’s a will there’s a way

And I LOVE animals and farming/homesteading/whatever it’s called now so if I ever have kids, they’ll definitely grow up with it! As well as just being outside in general. Hiking, kayaking, skiing, etc.

Tbh I’ve been pretty lazy or weird lately and barely even go outside sometimes and eat horribly

But I still love it and I’m working on it haha

Getting better at least lol

our oldest got married 2 weeks ago.... so now I’m in the waiting for grandkids phase....

Can I ask what incubator you’re using? (Of course I’m checking them out on amazon)

That's the hygrometer I have. Did you get another thermometer?

Awww that’s awesome!! My brother just got married the end of September.

And I have the IncuView from Incubator Warehouse.

The Hovabator Genesis 1588 is another good one and holds more eggs which might be good if you wanna do meat but I liked that the IncuView was plastic for ease of cleaning and has a huge viewing window so I can watch the hatch haha

Yes the humidity part, but I don't use the temperature part. I use a fish tank thermometer.

Thanks!! Tried to think of everything

I have the Farm Innovator 4250 and love if. It fits 42 eggs. I'm thinking about making my own cabinet incubator though.

Made my kids do the same. Oldest is your age. That’s some good parenting.

I have to agree!
