nuture right 360 recalibration

yea it isn't the bator. I sterilize bators with colloidal silver, kills all bacteria and viruses. I thought #4 was gonna die but it's hanging in there..

I know this post is old, but I see it was from December 31st and can't help but wonder what heat supply you used? I just lost a batch of 5 chicks (2-days old) because the Brinsea heat plate didn't provide enough heat for the ambient temps I was keeping the chicks in. I think they got chilled wouldn't come out enough to eat and drink.

The heat plate was plenty fine in spring and summer the previous year, but believe now that day-old chicks in winter need more than just the heat plate unless they are kept indoors in a well heated house (mine were in an insulated garage, and the outdoor brooders with heat lamps were plenty warm).

Did anyone ever get the instructions to recalibrate the humidity settings? Mine constantly reads 99% humidity, even when the room was at 26% and I didn't even have water in the incubator.
