Ok I'm all caught up light post today so it only took 45 min .maybe I told you this before I use FI I have two 4200s there not plastic only plastic coated with a thin shell once you get them set they hold the temp ok but there foam inside I don't mind the way they work but they are hard to clean after the hatch that's why I pulled out the old bower. I just incubate in them. buy a better Incubator if you can. check out ebay there are always hundreds on there. right now just make it through your hatch. anyway you can. I hope you get through it ok . don't worry about me having any thing to read I got plenty to do . I would pray for rain but the last time I did that It didn't stop.so now I'm behind. That's why I'm reading and posting late at night.

I decided to make something to hatch these in, IF this one fails, but so far, its working fine again. Not sure if that one flicker was a fluke or what. But thank you for the 4200 info. If I had decided to buy one, it was going to be the 4200, so I'll hold off now.

So when running dry where do yall like your humidity? Mine is between 23-28% this is day two of the 28 day haul for ducks and turkeys

I also don't like to dip below 25, actually I get nervous under 30. Will be able to gage that better after this hatch is finished because it stayed closer to 30 the whole time. I went a little higher with my ducks and turkeys, closer to 35-40, but its up to you. I think your air cells will let you know. Do you plan to lower the temp for the last days of this hatch? I dropped the temp setting 0.1 degree (C) each day for the last 10 days, so 1 degree total. The temp inside maintained the same. I can't say whether it helped or not, but I read it in Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks, so I tried it. Might be something for you to look into, if you hadn't heard of doing it before. Are you going to do a daily misting (after week 1, or whatever)? I didn't do any misting.

Baby #1 meets baby #2 through the incubators!! It's 3:00am and only 10 more eggs to go!

Yeah! so sweet!!

Judging by that picture, I think your frizzle theory is quite possibly correct. I've never seen feathers that defined

I had never either.... and you should see it in person! They were waving at me!!

I miss your hatch-cam!

Psssst

Oh now that really gives me the shakes...

I meant if I bought one locally, I would have bought the 4200. Dearest hubby said "why bother buying something that you won't be happy with... just order the -#%2@$ one that you want!" Yes, I love that man.

If my wife told me that, the credit card would melt in my hand before I could get the order placed. Coming from a husband, I'm going to translate what he said for you.
"I don't want to hear you needlessly worrying and fretting over something when we could spend $500, get something that actually works, and I can get back to my TV show"

Sounds like a green light to me

I was not planning on doing daily misting. How did your hatch go?

It's you guyses fault
No one was here, so I was helping the candy stripers stay on top

The monkey, no doubt. Poor fella, he was just playing. Maybe the overly sensitive shepherd was having a bad day

This is where Amy and I have our biggest differences. She would take it out and play a video. I would leave it to encourage the others. I used to take the first few out early, and as soon as I did the hatching slowed way down
Fog is more common in a Brinsea, and I'm assuming even more so in the Mini.
Lebanon, MO? A lot of my chickens came from there. I have had great success with Murray McMurray chicks. That's where my spectacular polish rooster came from

Lebanon Mo has Cackle Hatchery. Yeah it's less than a mile from me lol saddly they don't carry a lot of what I want.
