yeah the humidity is always at 50% all the time, and when you need to add water it will make a beeping sound, and you will have to add water, i only add water about 3-4 times in the 21 days it takes for them to hatch, and when you add water to it,,,,,, it will stop beeping and the humidity mark will show a drop of water, that represents that the incubator does not need any water

That is so cool

My colemabator is pretty nifty, you saw it... But is it trustworthy?.... Only time shall tell....

i do like your coleman-bator, my incubator is also a coleman, i think ours are the same,,, but if i were you i would suggest that you get your thermostat, and mount it to the wire that is to keep the chicks from the light source, and make sure that the back of the thermostat is facing the lightbulb,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, or something else, but you will want to make sure that you get the back of the thermostat atleast mounted 2 to 3 inches from the light bulb, in the spot it is at now, you would get a lot of fluctuation going on

I do get fluctuation.. I will have to see if I can mount it differently.. I am sure my bf can mickey mouse it.. Is it safe to do so close to hatch day?

yeah if you are somewhat quick about it, even a hen will get off of her nest to get a drink a poop, and eat, and i am sure your eggs will be fine, just dont even open the incubator until after all the eggs have hatched, or until you think is a necessary time to do so, to see if a chick is in it

My bf says its possible to move it in theory. So we are going to attempt it... Hope you are on so I can let you know if it is a success!
