I forgot. I have it set to the base 10 or whatever. That means your humble little contest is up to 218 pages.

Congrats.

What kind of Incubator do you have? I have a Genesis 1588 and have been adding water through the vent hole with an eye dropper. I've recently contacted the seller cuz it' makes a funny "revving" noise. Mostly when I add water. It's been fine up til now. Hatches have been acceptable. I've only had it since Feb 2010. This will be my fourth or fifth hatch.

I have a 1588 as well.
The blue tube goes through the OPEN hole down through the turner, through the metal mess and into one of the large water trays at the bottom.
Because I stack at the beginning, I have to open the bator three times a day to move the eggs that are stacked. They don't move like the ones in the turners... I always loose some humidity so I heat a little distilled water and put it in that tube with a sterilized Afrin bottle. Works like a charm to get the humidity back around 35%.

If you are adding water any other way through a 'vent hole', you could be ruining your bator or eggs or both.

Why would this ruin my incubator? The eye dropper is long enough to go past the fan, so it's not getting wet. Hatches have been good. Last hatch was 20/25. Hatch before that I only had three that didn't hatch. Don't remember how many. First hatch wasn't good 6 out of 26 shipped eggs, but 6/6 on home eggs.
