Yes, an UPDATE... The Pipped egg chirps so loud I can hear it in the next room!!!! Of course I keep checking and I can see it's beak and mouth opening.
When letting out some HUM (yes both air vents are unplugged) I couldn't resist but pick up both the other eggs and put them to my ear... ONE is TAP, TAP, TAPPING from the inside... the other silent.. quickly back in the bator! Oh my!
Well, because my HUM fluctuates so much (raising mostly) and I have to keep adjusting it , I figured out a trick that I've been experimenting with when I was removing things and changing things during my HUM problems.. I can quickly UP the hum when need be (like when the light is off... as the light helps up the HUM right?)... I've taken a fairly damp clean washcloth and blow hot air through the vent hole.... it takes a few seconds... then quickly brings it back to where I want it to be.
Just a note.... the TEMP is great ! Stable as can be... no swings in this new styro bator... and I feel sure about it because I've been using the Accurite Therm and a Therm I borrowed from my mate... he uses it for another hobby and it's from radioshack... it has an alarm you can set and adjust to go off if the temp goes too high or low I think... but no HUM feature. He uses the alarm setting with his hobby.
I hear chirping now... from the next room!!! It began so faint this afternoon... but now is pretty loud 7 hours later! I hope she (fingers crossed) is ok.
