Score!

No doubt! Also, my dad's an engineering tech, so I set him on the issue... and he's already thinking up stuff. Heh. Might give him another "pet project" and get him out of my mom's hair for a while...

Heck, even better! How far will it have to be moved?

A lot of it is my house. I have wood floors, old drafty ones. Gas heat and electric air, which causes problems with either too much humidity or too little. I'm debating setting up the incubator in the converted room, which has a concrete floor. It's fully insulated, but it's a converted garage.

Oh. I've got a bead on an incubator. Shhhhhhh. J doesn't know. It's supposed to do everything for you except fill it's own water reservoirs.

It is called pasty butt and is commonly caused by either getting chilled or stressed. It is common when they are young but they will grow out of it.

You are not the only one. It happens on occassion. Usually not enough water, stress, or cold drafts will cause the problem.

Thats funny. I get draft where I keep mine and when I had the foam incubator I would set it on a towel and put a towel over it to kinda keep the air flow even.
