YO GEORGIANS! :)

I have two store bought gauges one is digital that has the temp and humidity and the other is the old style with red liquid in the glass and a humidity gauge. They both matched up with my home temp gauge. The one built in to the bator is measuring lower.

Well im baffled. On paper ... there is no way that you should have anything rezembling shrink wrapped chicks. On paper ... they should be sticky and gooey.

Yeah that's what I mean like that press on plastic wrap. The membrane was stuck to the chicks. The first time it happened my husband said we'd call that chick tacky.

I found an old medicine syringe of our dogs and was able to suck some of the water out of the bator. Waiting to see if the humidity goes down.

What's your experience with doing cooler-bators...? I work at a petshop, and we just got a good sized styrofoam cooler I can take home for free...

I'm jealous of all the people hatching cute little chicks every week here and now that I'm back in town I'm interested to give it a try.

Don't you live a long way from there? I think Rocky should go get a few dozen and bring'em down. They're practically in his back yard.

If u get a good thermostat they work great. I use one of my home made ones as a hatcher. One of my next projects is going tobe a larger cabinet I guess 300 at a time is just not enough.
