I just wanted to update real quick. The charcoal/carbon moisture control stuff I picked up at the dollar store took my inside incubator humidity from 55% to 25%! I am so pleased. I only used a small cup of the stuff. Probably over a dozen cups in the actually container. Loving that it only cost $1 and worked amazing!

Wouldn't uncooked rice work? Or one of those ceramic pucks you put into a jar of brown sugar?

This also reminds me. I meant to try this thing out, but ended up setting eggs last time, before I tried it. Now that my bator is empty, I'll try it. Its made for gun safes, but I think our guns will survive long enough for me to test it in the bator.. http://www.libertysafe.com/accessory-desiccant-moisture-absorber-ps-16-pg-18.html

If you get it up and running by the spring I may have a line on some BBS Ameraucana eggs

Thanks for the link WalnutHill, that was a really informative article on caponizing. Now I just have to find the tools...I checked eBay.ca and Kijiji (our CL) and found nothing...;-[

but the rib spreaders appear pretty useless if you don't have an assistant.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Weitlaner-R...349?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a20ba821d these are real veterinary rib spreaders, and the smallest size I found. They lock so you can use both hands for the task at hand.

Now, we'll all be haunting the dollar stores to buy the stuff!  What was the store name?

It is the Dollar Tree and the stuff is called, "moisture eliminator charcoal/carbon".

I read somewhere that MyPetChicken sells them.

I tried uncooked rice. Did not work (no change). Then I tried unpopped corn and humidity actually increased 5%.

Looks like Dollar Tree sells it.  Also found it on Amazon...

Sorry I didn't see you had replied. My phone does not update the thread. I have to keep going back to my subscriptions and reopen the thread. It's a pain in the butt!

Same here!! Wish they'd update the mobile to do like the desktop does!
(I don't go back to subscriptions though, I just refresh the page)
