Guys! My incubator spiked to 102! Is bobby OK? BTW I have a still air!

You're good.

Thanks!
Not sure if you are looking for sebs only, but
I have a friend who would sell you some pilgrim eggs. Would you like her email?

let me check with the crew. We're actually planning to buy a pair of youngsters (Sebs) from Celtic this fall. I'm trying to ebay some chinese to hatch for my mom, since she lost her last female this winter and wanted some more. They keep them in the junkyard to let them know if folks are roaming about. I want sweet lovable geese.

Yeah, give me her email. If I decide against them, I could always sell the youngsters. LOL Who am I kiddding. We'll just make a pen for them!

Your good, if your thermometer is accurate.  101-102 is ideal for stills.    Just creep it back a bit.  

My moms old incubator (like a 20 year old) is not as good a hovabator as even my 10 year old (but mine has a fan).  Hers spiked to 105 on me, and it also dropped to 91.  Poor quail.  Didn't get anymore after that.  I'm actually buying a new hovabator generations today, since my DH doesn't want to build me an incubaor yet.  Its spring, and he does aircooled engine repiar, and says hes too busy! 

I'm gonna buy plans, and make him make it for my birthday!!  I want a fan, turners, and everything.   A nice roomy (for a little while) cabinet bator.  Then  I will use my good hovabators for hatching. 

 

Oh good! I candled bobby to make sure he was ok, and hes in there swimming around, having a blast lol.

Mine is usually at 100-99/97. It sometimes spikes. Not alot though. And not to bad.

Better cool than hot anyday. I've read that they can be good for several hours if its above 90, but I've never bothered to test it!!

I'm up to 3 trying to internally pip in the Swedish Flower Hens.

3 for 5. Can I get 4?

 

[Marty1876]

Thats great QuackerJack (QJ) How do you keep candling them without messing up humidity?? I want to do it, but I'm agraid to hurt my babies. I've always just let them be, until theres enough babies to grab some out real quick.

Ok, Thanks DG! She may get a little extra business now that shes posted here. You should have her send you more eggs as a thank-you!
