This is strange, I was on my way to bed when of the sudden I inhaled a small moth into my nose. It got stuck in my nose, and I could feel it moving a few times as I sneezed. Then it stopped moving. I went into the bathroom and blew really hard. Nothing came out. I am not really grossed out by...

I kind of ran out of cash to spend on anything right now, I am working making it back, I will definitely look into that!! Thanks!!

Well, I went to the east coast once, and had trouble adjusting to the humidity, it felt stuffy, and crazy. I can only imagine what Louisiana fells like!! It never gets above 20% humidity here!

I live in a very diverse climate, it rains a ton in early spring, then from about May - June it will sometimes rain. But then when summer hits, it hardly ever rains. Then fall hits, and it dose not rain until the end of October, then it does nothing but poor rain until the end of November, then...

Okay, I have an update. I am starting to question the hydrometer, it is a incubator warehouse Hydrometer, that comes with the Hova Bator. There is little water droplets condensing on the windows. The hydrometer has not changed, and it says 55%. I put the eggs into lockdown on day 16, because...

Okay so when I first put the water in the humidity went up to 65%. Then it dropped. Strange, I will see what I can do.

I agree with that, but picture 2 looks like a cockerel. But it is very early to tell.

The first picture, the chick on the right I think is a Cockerel. The next picture, the chick in the middle is definitely a cockerel, the next picture the chick looks like a pullet, maybe. The last picture is also a cockerel.

I know that much, but the there is no a ton I can do to get the humidity above 55%. It is about 10 times more humid inside the incubator then it is outside of the incubator.

Also, a lot of my chicks act tired, and week, and don't like to move so I add sugar to their water it gets them perked up.

It looks okay, she might just be very tired, escaping an egg prison is hard work, but let us know if there is any other problems.

I candled them, they are still alive.

My Climate is very very VERY. It has a relative average humidity is 5% all year. except when it rains. I basically live between a small mountain range, and a dry desert.

Okay, messed with the controls of the incubator. I got the temp to 98 degrees. But the humidity is at 55%

Hello! I had a few questions regarding my egg hatching. I built a DIY incubator, and it got all of my eggs to lock down. There is a bit of a temperature difference from the top of the incubator, where the egg racks are, and the bottom of the incubator where the hatcher is. (Here is a pic) Every...
