Uh-oh....only 6 of my 7 eggs can be seen. I don't think I can get a pic of all 7 in the Brinsea mini adv.
I hope I don't get DQed.

I believe you!

Alittle advice please....my LG (w/fan) is at 20% humidity. I have all 3 wells filleds with water. I have added a wet paper towel off to the side on top of the wire screen. That will get it up to 25% and then it just drops back down. What percent humidity whould I be aiming for? Anyone with experience with LG's? I'd like to know if you fill all 3 wells at the start how often do you need to refill them. Right now I can't see what is going on with the water in the wells because the eggs obstruct the view. So what percent humidity and how ofter do you have to refill your wells on your forced air LG???

Sounds like you need to check your hygrometer, that sounds suspiciously like a malfunctioning one. Try the salt in a bag method

Well, heres my list!
2 barred Cochins
2 blue orpingtons
4 black/blue Marans
2 splash Marans
It's a small bunch compared to some, but I won these eggs and it's my fist time hatching so it is great for me I'm using a little giant still air incubator that has a turner that my dads friend gave me. I'm super excited! Love this thread! I spend so much time in it!!!

Congrats on the win, and good luck on your first hatch. With participants all over the world (and one insomniac thread starter) I imagine any time you have a question there will probably be someone on here to help you.

Yesterday I went to a few lighthouses along the Maine coast...

That reminds me. in the early pages you posted a pic you took of a lighthouse and I was going to ask if you would mind sharing that picture. It was so pretty I wanted to frame it and hang it in my house.

What kind of roo is that and how can I get one?
