Setting and hatching in December? Come join us! - Holiday Season hatch-along

I bought a Farm Innovators 2100 still air, i may opt for the fan kit accessory depending on how these work, almost four hours now and my wife turned down heat a little and temp is holding at 100-101 now, hopefully the internal temp off the eggs didn't get too high

Do you mean you can't see in the egg because your light isn't bright enough or you can't see anything inside of the egg?

Thanks for that it really helped. Can,t wait for hatching this is my 3rd hatch, but my first with blue eggs, well

for a good hatch rate

It,s my light I don,t think its bright enough for these eggs I had no probs with my other hatches when I candled so here,s hoping I get a nice surprise at hatch time

I just got one like this one on ebay. You can candle blue eggs or Marans eggs with no problem.

Ive had the same problem one order of eggs got lost in Florida and never did make it seems this second order was lost for 2 days in missouri somewhere but finally made it to my local post office so hopefully they arrive today. Its had my nerves on edge all week the stress of wondering where they are with the added stress of wondering how badly they have been handled. Im sure the USPS would not like to hear from me again some of the eggs are very expensive and then not being able to insure them. I sure hope you get your eggs today

OMG you had a worst experience!!! Wonder where your eggs went?
Yeah nerves...i wanted to scream at the Po WHERE ARE THEY?
..Of course it s not the local POs fault...I called and was nice( so they didnt shake them when they came) LOL
NO tomorrow he said..... 7 days.

Thank you!! Sadly they all had new homes before they all hatched out LOL.. 3 chicks didn 't hatch out. 1 shrink wrapped as I didn't see it's pip (was lower and out of sight) and i opened the incubator quickly to remove chicks and quickly put it back. The other 2 didn't even pip.

Yeah that happens I never get all hatched out
.Is the roo ALL white? i really like that too Really nice.

Sure thing, and yep im currently using a digital reptile controller. So far so good with it, it's a dual controller both temp and humidity. Not something i would go out and blow 100 bucks on for an incubator, but having it on hand I might as well right

Marine was looking at those reptile humidifier...is yours still doing ok? I read some reviews and they seem to say they work a while then stop ...both brands i saw on Amazon
How is yours and what brand if its still doing well. What does it get your humidity to. ? VEry high? That wasnt on the webitie either.Can you ajust it higher or lower ?
