Nice color and size. No reason why it shouldn't be good.

Since humidity correlates with the surface area of the water, you might want to sponge out one channel of the Brinsea. If your ambient humidity is high, you might want to run it all the way dry and just let the humidity pump top it off.

Now I am stuck. Cleaned and drived bators...the Janoel reads 64% and the Brinsea reads 55% humidity...??? The basement has even higher humidity as I'm curing garlic down there. A 23.48g egg that I believe is from one of my 13 week old project pullets...;-] WTH, I'm going to set it in this hatch...

With the humidity that high in the Brinsea I would run it with no water in the wells for a day after setting the eggs and see if it drops. Even here in the humid south I'm at 30% dry with the vent fully open, but I'm not in the basement. I didn't realize your eggs were so dark. I think the 35% you are shooting for will be a good number

that's what I'm thinking been trying to go back and read before jumping on. every thing I read and see tells me you have a humidity problem . I have not added water to my incubators all summer long . and only add water to the hatcher after the first pip. and last night after the first hatch. and question if I should have added any then . I've had a turn around my ees always hatch first Now my BCMs hatch first and without much trouble . my humidity levels have been anywhere 35%to 65% without a drop of water. last week 23 out of 27 locked down hatch not over today but the numbers are looking good so far .I'll know more latter. two hygrometers that far apart means one is so wrong . run dry until the next set an see what happens keep both incubators on till then. would almost bet money high humidity is your biggest problem.

Well, I was able to dry the Brinsea more than I could dry the Janoel, so the difference seemd reasonable. However, now the Brinsea says 44%, and the Janoel is still at 67%??

Thanks all, setting the next 80, let's see where we are at later today.

lolz, 23g is a nice size? not what I was expecting to hear...;-]

 

[NTBugtraq]

I will say it again, metal rails in the Brinsea are merely an attempt by Brinsea to make you break eggs...they suck, never use them.

 

[NTBugtraq]

Oldest egg is 1 x 15 day old egg, 2 x 14 day olds, and the rest are 12 days or younger.

67% with no water in the Janoel? Dang. Hopefully it will go down as it stabilizes more. Are you staggering the set times related to date laid this time? Sorry you broke some.

I still hope to be setting mine Monday evening.

Its down to 54%, as is the Brinsea, with eggs. I am not staggering this time, oldest eggs are 14 days...bah to staggering. No, I didn't break any, just felt like I coulda...;-]
