Don't get me wrong...I am a winner but I'd rather lose and you end up with chicks

Also, I identified another design flaw.

The fogger I have came with an expandable (Lots of side wall ribs to catch condensation) tube. I read somewhere about concerns that humidity by fogger would undesirably cool the incubator, So I set it up with the tube wrapping around the inside of the incubator before dumping "warmed fog". Well, The tubing also collects a lot of water and if you leave a low spot, It'll form a puddle and clog the tube.

I'll be changing out the tube for a smooth walled one when I candle this weekend with the potential to add an intentional low spot and drain.

I need a user name for Reddit.
I tried RUNuts but it's not letting me use that.

Any ideas?

Can you just put a little dish of water in there?

This tube stuff is too nerdy for me. I've not built a bator yet.

Technically, your first try at hatching balut was a homemade incubator.

That doesn't count.

Definitely could...but I like nerdy stuff. And I like the ability to raise or lower humidity by having the water stored outside. Before this, I noticed I had tons of condensation built and any time I popped the lid, something happened and humidity spiked. I haven't had that problem with this set up...yet.
