sorry to hear about your eggs frying i'm just using a home mate one its now my forth attempt with no results as of yet I'm running at 99-100F and 45-50 humidity if i'm doing anything wrong I could do with any advise really for small home made still air incubators its about 1 1/2 foot x 1 1/2F a foot tall I need to know if my humidity is right really or do I need to go lower as there button eggs they need a lot of humidity so really not sure as most sites are for large incubators plz let me know asap so I can make the changes if needed thanx peeps.

I had to move my other broody hen she nested right under the rain water down spout and she got off the eggs. So now I have 10 more bantam eggs in the bator. And of course it is running perfect again!!! I think My bator is posessed!!!! Neighbor bought her own bator and has 30 EE eggs in it so she is going to give me a few chicks.

my bator is still running fine it just depends on the egg condition after the mail man played football with them lol I'm gonna tried to candle them but there so hard to see through bluddy things.
