Good morning! That's great, thanks. Do you move them all to a seperate hatcher or do you stagger them and hatch on the bottom?

 

[BantyChooks]

Temp is still at 100.5..... Bump it up by adding another scarf, or leave it? I have to leave in an hour or so, so I didn't want to monkey with the thermostat control.

Great, thanks!

I have two incubators like that and a hatcher like that . I bought them at the livestock barn auction last year . they will incubate in this and hatch in the hatcher cabinet . all three look the same . so incubating in the cabinet is new to me see how it goes .

100.5

Oh, OK. Hope it goes well...

100.5

you should adjust a little bit at the end of the day . or if you are going to be there do it now . you need to keep a close eye on it for an hour after you adjust . tiny movements as the clock goes 2 to seconds at a time. or turn it till the indicator light comes on . then back till it goes off . then the tiniest little move back on . tiny tiny tiny moves .and watch your temperature give it time to regulate . got it ?

Got it, thanks.

Right now all of the thermos are reading 100.5 (or 101, in the case of the digital) so I'm very happy with the minimum of cold spots.

Remember to keep a close eye on your ambient temperature . try to keep it as constant as you can . 68 to 72 won't affect the LG that much shoot for 101.5 that gives you a little room to breath . Up and down

I moved it the slightest bit, just a hair really, so maybe that'll be enough.
