I was just thinking about you today wondering how your hatch was going. If you do buy one, don't get the little giant if you can help it....lol Crossing my fingers though that you see something.
He's looking at the lg still air at TSC isn't he? The 9300 model does not have a big fan base, I can tell you that. I use the 9200 and have good hatches, but I am constantly monitoring it. I don't know anyone who has been using the 10300 but from what I understand it's reletively the same as the 9300.
Quote: I have now idea which one he was looking at. But I'll give him this info. Thanks.I just went to TSC and checked out the incubator...looks like there is only the one...Little Giant 9300, so should we look elsewhere for a different one? Seems like a lot of people have trouble with the LG.
Good hatches are possible, but a lot of work and they are not really any more stable than your home made. (Better reviews than the lg.) You'd be just as well off buying the thermostat for your homemade bator. If you talked to @WalnutHill she could give you some tips to tweaking the homemaid one and probably for about the same price as the cheap lg. The hova bators are pretty good, you can pick them up for around $100-$120 on ebay. TSC has a farm incubator they sell onling for about $130. These have the fan and I know the FI has the turner as well. I'd just hate to see you spend even $50 and still have the same problems that you are having with the homemade one.I have now idea which one he was looking at. But I'll give him this info. Thanks.
It's going to be hard to get a good hatch unless you can narrow down that temp fluctuation. I'd recommend lowering the humidity as well I wouldn't incubate over 40% unless the air cells indicate it needs to be higher.
If you can get the temp steady, (add a thermostat) and lower that humidity, I think you'd be good.Well, another failure. No hatching. I think the incident that happened about day 7-8 killed them. Getting frustrated, almost don't want to try again. I don't know. Maybe one more try.
