I am like 200 posts behind. Can't keep up with the work outside..

So Eli, Wing... You 2 seem to be having some luck with your duck eggs, any tips for me? My Broody hopped off Sara's Ancona eggs, and I really don't want to kill them, they are developing!!

I try to "dry" incubate them. I keep little water in the incubator, but I spray the eggs with water 3 times a day. This brings the humidity up to around 60% but then it slowly drops. At lock down I increase the amount of water in the incubator to stabilize the humidity. Still working on the best humidity for lock down. If it is too high they drowned if its to low they shrink wrap. My guess is around 50%-60%. This is what has worked for me in the past.

Would this work for a plug in thermostat for a grow out pen? I am not electrically inclined. I would be more worried about hooking something up wrong.

I am going to see if hubs can make one cheaper


But this is cheaper

See you could tell him that. The feed is another thing LOL. I just want to balance it all out where they pay for themselves and their care with eggs, meat and such.

It should. I didn't go nearly they fancy. That looks like it should be simple to plug in and use. I used an old style LINE VOLTAGE thermostat and wired it basically like an incubator. Key is line voltage. (120/240 depending on your location)
