Little Giant Help

I just bought an LG 12300 last week, as a back up for my Hovabator 2370, which I love. My Silkies refuse to go broody and I have a staggered hatch in my Hovabator. Anyhow, I hate the LG so far! I cannot get steady temps or humidity, cannot get the humidity up, despite having a lot of water in my troughs. I have 4 calibrated hygrometers in the LG Bator right now in all 4 corners. Each one reads different! I’ve been fooling with it for DAYS to try to get it to stabilize. At this point, I’m afraid to put eggs in it. Frustrating!

I never had issues with humidity not being high enough :-(. But I uses a mason jar in the corner with a sponge in it. How has your temps been? I had to wrap mine in a blanket to keep the temp stable (guys my house is a bit cooler than the LG likes it) lol
 
I’m going to try the sponge. I’ve gotten the temp pretty stable now. My husband and boys like it cooler as well but I keep it warmer anyways because I get up at night and sneak extra wood into the furnace. Lol. What a long winter this year...it’s April and we are STILL firing up the wood furnace!
 
Yes that thread helped me a lot! Go there!
Lol where are you located @Krisitne ? I’m in Ontario Canada and we had a great winter and spring is coming on strong :)
I’m in British Columbia. We are just seeing the snow melt off of the lawn now. I just went outside this morning and it’s pretty chilly. Can’t wait for the real spring. I’m going to order hatching eggs from Ontario this spring. Cookstown Chicks. They have beautiful Polish Candycorn birds :)

Oh very nice :-). Ya chilly I bet, hopefully it warms up soon for you.
oh I’ll have to check them out... my husband and I went on a 7 hour road trip yesterday to Quebec to pick up Silver Dorking Hatching eggs :-). They are going in my incubator tonight :-)
