Official Christmas Hatch! c'mon and join

[Labman2]

Well, I was going to candle on this past Fri-Sat., got my light ready, opened my Sportsman, pulled the top rack forward, picked up the first egg. MY LOW TEMP. (91.5*) alarm started buzzing. I have the incubator out in my heated garage, it's 70* in there, but too much of a temp. and humidity change between the 99.7 and the room temp., too many eggs to do (99), so I will just wait to see what hatchs.

guinea fowl galore: My fingers are crossed for your hatches. My question is, how will you at hatching keep the temps up to 95 degrees & humidity up so they don't get stuck & dry in the egg in the plastic container setup instead of the bator?

i think the plastic tub is going inside the bator...
that would be my guess...

They are staying on the nest, and not getting up! I boot them off once a day to eat, drink, and poo! They look so sweet. I'll have to get a picture of the broody sisters!

i have candled the white eggs in my bator, there were four with veins and stuff, but the fifth looked clear, so I opened it and it was an infertile egg. Well, they can't all be winners, huh? Anyway, the green and dark brown ones I can't even see into so I am a'guessing they have chicks in em!
