So happy for chicks! Hope they keep on coming!

For those using an LG this has helped me a lot to control my temperature better

I added a dimmer switch to mine. I've done pretty much all the suggested upgrades. Adding a fan was the best help.

I agree totally. I did the same thing on my homemade incubator. I wanted to keep it very simple.

We are at 4 hatched and running around. It is really interesting to watch them hatch, they finally shake the shell free then land on the bottom of the wire rack wet and limbs that don't really function correctly, squalling!!
You can't help but fell sorry for them , all alone then they finally run into a litter mate and what do they do??....
Peck each other in the eye...............

I am glad we are smarter.
Thats when I take a brake from peep watch and try to get some house stuff done.

Today is the perfect day to get the christmas stuff out . Put on some christmas music and set up the tree...... Hang an ornament, check the chicks, hang another, check the chicks.

Great pics cmom! I see you were brave enough to make your own incubator! Someday I would like to try that....

You've been MUCH more productive than me today. I'm still watching them hatch. It is interesting! I'm now at 6 babies and one pip. Going to take pics soon. I haven't been able to check them over good for spots, but it looks like five paints and one dark one. I need to get them out soon, they're getting naughty in there picking at everything!
5 eggs to go!

I may get a showgirl out of this hatch!
