Setting eggs week of 7/13... Anyone with me??

[rowlow]

Ok so I checked my eggs with my kid "In ear thermometer" and they were at 97 degrees.. they have been that for a day. So I turned up the temp and got them to around 99 and 100..Hopefully they are still good.....

Everything shipped, always takes 4 days. Which would put me eggs arriving at my post office on Sunday. And they are not very helpful. Last time, I asked the post office to hold the eggs and I would pick them up. They still delivered them.

Well so far it seems ok. I went and bought a different Temp and humidity indicator. I stopped messing with the water heater thermostat and am just gonna let it go and see if it works. If it doesn't I'm going to totally redo it and put a temp controller with a thermocouple and a PLC to automate the whole thing lol. I'll post in several days and let you know what I see when i candle the eggs.

I have a store bought one, LG. Works well, but seriously considering making a homemade incubator just for lockdown. Large fowl tend to bump their heads on the coil in the LG.

So please keep us posted.

Just set my 33 Swedish Flower eggs!!! I so hope they develop after being treated so badly by the Post Office.

I see SF, do you have Salmon Faverolles?

No, Swedish Flower Hens.

Kimbroe... I am gonna check out that link, but since you already did the reading and research I may just follow your plan!!

Then if it's a batch had I can say it's Kimbroe's fault!

My eggs went in at 3 pm. All six dozen or so. One was real fragile and popped when I went to unwrap it. It was super porous, so I didn't lose a " real" egg. Porous eggs often lose too much moisture. This is my mad hatchers batch so I won't even actually count them until after first candling. Now I need more shelf material and staff to finish the bator. Lol hatching in an almost finished homemade bator. That's when you now you have it bad.

Got my replacement Gold and Silver Laced Brahma eggs today. My egg guy sent me a dozen of each. He's the best. Got them resting in my egg room in cartons until tomorrow morning. Sure hope I get some silvers this time.
