Linda, I hope you found your humidity papers. I know exacly what you are talking about because I have a Brinsea as well. If you didn't find them, I still think you could use folded up paper towels to do the trick. The water just needs something to catch it and spread the water out so that it evaporates.![]()
I am trying the dry hatch with the styrobator. I have not put any water in the channels at all and mine has a fan. Reading Renee's cheat sheet, I am not sure if I am supposed to add water now to try to keep a little moisture in there or if I am supposed to wait until lockdown? Anyone else doing this method with a forced air incubator?
Gah! and now it's back up to 100.1
I swear, I'm NOT TOUCHING IT!
I suppose as long as it stays between 98.5 and 101 it should be OK, RIGHT????!!!
Water weasel?
?

LOL! I'll take that award! It's all I seem to be up for!
I meant to ask ya'll yesterday... I have one of those perfect oval eggs in my hatch and was not sure which end was the pointed end. I know what the air cell looks like once it becomes obvious, clear looking area in the end of the egg, but I didn't see that in any of the fresh eggs I looked at. I candled the oval one and one end has a small lighter area without defined edges and the other end had a slightly darker, perfect circle with defined edges. Which is the air cell? I would guess the lighter end but what is the other thing? It was off center, so it is not variation in the shell thickness. Any ideas?

I usually do day 5, maybe 7, and 14 - that's it - but this time I wanted to take a picture of each day just for fun. So, I put in a few light-colored eggs from my flock just for this purpose. I'm not candling any of the "real" eggs () because I don't want to disturb them or get any oil from my paws on them (although I always wash my hands first!

Temp is holding at 99.9 Im not touching anything. I am nervous about the temp because I dont have my incubator full this time. Temp holds better with a full incubator.
18 eggs. IF they are all fertile, and when I candle IF I dont have to take any out, then it should be okay. But if some quit or are infertile, I am worried my temps will drop.
I should add more eggs...
Today is the day that construction begins on my breeding pens!![]()
