I have a question for the Janoel knock off users. Anyone know how to reset the humidity alarm so it doesn't go off or goes off at a lower percentage?   

And has anyone seen @lazy gardener
  lately?

I'll look up the code when I get home. I know it can be lowered, but can't remember the 2 letter abbreviation at the moment.

Yea, i mean obiously that Had to of been the issue. I saw a 40% jump that lasted im making an educated guess, about 3 hours. The bathrooms tiny, closed off, i dont have central air And i should have expected a humidity spike, shouldnt mop while incubating, lesson learned. Its Sooo my fault, i screwed up like i said, and im pretty upset w myself for it.

Don't be too mad at yourself. A humidity spike isn't going to compromise your eggs, especially for a few hours, and like I said, I don't think it would have occured to me that it would have effected it that much either.

I didn't know he was. I didn't even know he was thinking about buying an incubator. My sister sent me a pic via text and I went NO!!! He did not buy a Janoel knockoff!!?? Why didn't he talk to me first!!!?? lol

I'm sorry. I had a SLP chick get cemented in and died overnight as well. It too was malpositioned and never kicked itself out. I feel your pain. Have you eggtopsied yet? Was there still yolk that needed to be absorbed?

Sorry your hatch is not going well. It 's fact of hatching and chicken raising you will lose chicks chickens. eggs will start to develop and die whatever you raise it stinks even if you hatch your on eggs they cost you time and money . NTB's egg looks like humidity was to high to me. the heat is so bad here we are lifting the top on the incubators mid day to keep the eggs from getting to hot. and still temps hit 103 humidity is running 50 to 60% during incubation and at lookdown I'm waiting for strong pips before raising it to hatch. In spite of all that my hatch went well 18 live out of 25 once again I had sticky chicks 7 in all that I had to help they started zipping and stuck 6 of those were BCMs the high humidity affects them the most I think you might be getting temp spikes .that coupled with high humidity is the reason for last weeks no hatch. last year my hatch rates were really bad incubators full of eggs and only hatched 4 or 5 brought BCM's off ebay 30 of them and hatched 1 Rooster. I was hot I called Farm innovators and grilled them about why and asked a lot of other questions they could not answer I figured out that I did not need water at all in my incubators the ambient humidity was already to high I joined byc and learned My hatching humidity was to low . I don't trust any thermometer made to be right or hygrometer for that matter ck ck ck and re ck them what I've done to over come low hatch rates is become a hatching fool don't give up get aggressive

good luck with the egg

Haha. It probably cost more than the genesis too. But maybe he will have good luck with it. It "can" work lol

Edit - did it not come with a manual for changing that alarm setting?

She said he got it for $40 new.

It came with a manual, but I don't think she could find instructions for the humidity alarm. I didn't ask cause someone else told me at one time they couldn't find it in theirs when I was trying to help them.
