*Takes deep breath* opinions needed, ppl!

[cjeanean]

Okay, I've never designed a web site before, but I think I'm done with mine for the time being! I need people's opinions!!! Almost everything links back to BYC, and I especially want advice on the Incubating page since I don't know anything about it and pretty much just gleaned info from the forums. Thanks everyone!!! I'll return the favor if needed!!!! here's the link:

I like the rustic look. You did a very nice job

 

[Guitartists]

Looks pretty good

My only comment is that I am hesitant to buy something when I don't have a picture. I'm a visual person

 

[Frizzledhen]

Anyone else????

Still Air incubators are used for hatching smaller numbers of eggs, and do not have a fan to help regulate the incubator temperature. Forced Air incubators are usually for hatching large numbers of eggs and use a fan for temperature regulation. To decide which incubator will work best for you, consider how many eggs you want and how much room you have.

This information is incorrect. A Little Giant and a Hovabator come in a basic still air and forced or circulated air. They both will hold a large number of eggs. Without a turner they hold about 50 eggs. With a turner they hold 42.

Unless you have years of experience under your belt in hatching you should be careful of what you are advising people to do for incubation. Having glanced through most of the information some of it can be misleading to an inexperienced hatcher.

For example -

Forced Air incubators should be kept at 100 degrees Fahrenheit inside and Still Air incubators should be kept at 102 degrees Fahrenheit inside

Temperature recommendations are not that simple. In a still air incubator the temp should be taken at egg height. The temperature should be 101 - 102 at the top of the egg and cooler toward toward the bottom of the egg and incubator.

If someone has their thermometer sitting on the floor of the incubator and set the temp at 102 the egg would most likely be over heated and the embryo would probably die early.

Hatching isn't rocket science but does have a few rules that need to be followed.

Another point is turning the eggs 4 - 6 times a day. Experienced hatchers turn eggs an odd number of times a day. This is to insure an egg never spends the night on the same side day after day giving the embryo less opportunity to stick to the shell.

I am not trying to be the rotten egg here in your thread but misinformation of this nature can lead to many disappointing and poor hatch experiences.​

you have alot more time than I do!!!! I know nothing about incubating, it is one of those things I go back and forth on, yes I will, no I won't....I have responsibility issues

its almost like being pregnant, and I already did that twice!!!
