The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[ozexpat]

First, my family is already scars of the damage I do with my cooler bater, but I would love to have one like that!
Did you build that?!

If you double stack, an I right that you can hold up to 1,152 eggs?!!!

yes its max capacity is 1152 eggs

the shelves get tilted 45 degrees up and down from horizontal.

I can have 2 farm innovators qual egg turners running on the floor of it as well.

i think we topped out at 700 eggs total

I plan to retire it soon and replace it with a 7 foot tall bator that will hold 15 trays , using a linear actuator for turning every hour.

we hatch in very high humidity so my bator room is just 5 feet x 8 feet and has a dehumidifier to get the room down to 40% RH

I'm going to be cutting it pretty close...if I'm allowed to set on the 15th I'm in. I plan on setting d'Anvers, Sumatras, and seramas.

That is fine. Anything +/- 2 days is fine.

I just need to find space in my bator..........



If not, we better get moving on a new one

Now THAT is serious incubating!

Happy Valentines day everyone!!

Yes, Happy Valentines Day!
