Incubator almost complete! whew! Still have to make a few cosmetic adjustments and figure out how to adjust the temp, it keeps going between 98.7 and 100. And the motor went out for the eggturner so I need to order a replacement. But other than those few things I am finally done!!
e The two eggs that made it will go into lock down today but i'm keeping them in the LG till I get everything sorted with the new one. I am a nervous wreck right now...I keep hearing pecking noises but nothing yet I'm going insane with this first hatch
Great idea. I love that they cant dig a whole and take a dust bath right there lol (my down fall to a micro green patch I started for them-hindsight arrrg)Remember I tried the deal with the window screens replaced with hardware cloth and placed grass seed under the screens? Well, the first grass I grew was golf course seed (didn't know it was) and the grass never grew high enough to go through the screen. LOL Duh!! So I lifted the screens and just let the girls have at it. Then I thought about my wild bird seed, it always grows high under the bird feeders, so I put it under the screen and it is starting to grow through the screens. Here's a foto before the seed sprouted and today. It will get a lot greener, it has just started to sprout. The girls love lunching on the tender green grass. I call it their Salad Bar. LOL

Thats pretty darn good average temp of 99.3 is real close to 99.5. I had to tinker with my home grown incubator to get it right too. Hope all goes well with the hatch !!
