She said/He said Who's right? Who's wrong? No one!

I had to go look... seriously, I had a run in with that same idjit a little over a week ago...

OMG. Impossible. If you have a room 4x4 and room 8x8 and everything is identical except the size, and you need to get the humidity in each room up to 50% so you put a humidifier in each room, which room is going to take more moisture to reach that 50%? Am I wrong? You can't get the same amount of humidity using the same amount of water/moisture in an enclosed environment of two different sizes. The bigger area has more air, for that area to have 50% of it's air saturated, you are going to need more moisture to reach your goal.

I love pictures!

She's fine today, but they are still sleeping in the corner of the big, scary pen in the big, scary coop. In the rabbit cage, they were sprawled everywhere.

The lone one pipped, and will get some chick friends from FFH, probably a couple of Silver Laced Wyandottes.




Silver spangled, and some project blues. I've never raised them, I didn't even want white eggs, I hear they don't like captivity, but hey...they are interesting looking. I am tired of boring red birds.

Everything I read before mine hatched said that they like to roost in trees. I asked the girl I got the eggs from and she looked at me kind of funny. Mine aren't any different than my other birds. I have a handful of hens that fly up and over my run fence, (I need to enclose it this summer), and my Spitz is one of them, but she stays right with the others, she doesn't head for the trees. I honestly love my two and am hoping to hatch a few more this spring/summer and get more girls.

I have a metal pan approx 8 inches × 12 inches in my cabinet hatcher I fill, puts humidity right up to 65%, rock solid... I put one of those teeny, tiny little sour cream tubs of water in my Reptibator and it shoots right up to 75-80%, and condensation like crazy...

I feel sorry for the OP though...

well it was a very heated discussion . there is some truth to what he is saying . while what Amy says is true what JC says is also true with a couple of flaws . Amy's point that it takes more or less moisture for a larger or smaller space is true . but humidity will still be the same and measured the same . moisture saturation of the air will be the same . regardless of the volume. now that being said . BTUs is not the measurement of heated air in a space . it is the measurement of movement of heated air that it takes to heat the space .temperature is the heat measurement . BTUs come into play when the heat in the air leaves the air and heats the egg . but I know nothing about everything and everything about nothing so I wouldn't give what I just said a second thought

I just had to talk about something and AMY YOU ROCK .

The thing is the OP was asking what might have gone wrong with incubating turkey eggs and Amy said she *thought* the humidity was too high and the other one said no... I incubated the turkey eggs from Walnut at much lower humidity than fhat and still had a couple drown...

The OP contacted me via PM and I answered before I saw the thread, so all is good.

You know it all, can't fool me.
