Well. Started my 1st cabinet cooler bator hatch with 45, pulled 15 by day 14 which, like I said, I expected due to old eggs & some shipped. 26 made it to lockdown, 18 hatched. 1 of the 18 took about 48 hrs to hatch and didn't do well, had green slimy stuff leaking from something, culled it. 17...
Its day 21 for my 1st cabinet cooler bator set! They moved to the hatcher, my Genesis Hovabator 1588, on Tuesday for lockdown.
Had 2 pips yesterday, another this morning, but so far, nothing! I'm getting nervous!!! I have always been done with hatching by day 21 because they've always hatched...
My 1st batch from my cabinet cooler bator goes into the hatcher Tuesday!!!!! Started with 45, pulled 15 combo of clears/early quitters. BUT... Some of the eggs were shipped & some a little old, but I had so much room, I decided to toss em in anyway!! Lol
Just finished checking front & back, too to bottom. It looks good!!! All seems stable, WAY more so than my Lg! LMBO!
Now, I'm fixing to try my 1st dry hatch! Anyone got a link to what I should do? Looks like my humidity is running about 22% with nothing in. Fixing to put eggs in!!!!!
Oh goodness no! Lol That is my "level" setting to add & remove trays. Its actually tilted just a touch forward to make it easier to lift them
Over the lip of the shelves they sit on though.
I already had 5 of these is y I am using them. I purchased the cooler, fans, & thermostat for this...
Well, mine is complete! :/ It is finally inside my house, and been running over night to find the right temp range... AGAIN, because my bf couldn't be patient and jacked it WAY up to 106 when we plugged it back in!!
Now today to move thermometers all around and be sure its the same everywhere...
No. I haven't gotten that far into the check. Just was getting the thermostat set where it needs to be, or at least close, so that it'll be easier to just make small adjustments. I also haven't put in a bottom shelf yet. I am going to try & see if I can keep temps stabler without it 1st, because...
Lol Thanks. We put the 100Watts in yesterday and its holding temp AMAZING!! I need to check my digitals against my mercury, so didn't have them all in. Just the mercury hanging a few feet from the shelf trying to get the thermostat somewhere near the correct setting, but it was doing great! YAY!!!
I know someone must sell them, I saw the pic of the box in the original post, but nowhere in this ridiculously small town can I find 90Watt light bulbs!!!!
Any reason 100 Watt would be an issue?? Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!
By the time we got to the wiring everytime he'd "ask my opinion" on anything, I'd just say, " I don't care", cause it wasn't really going to matter anyway. LOL And, his way works just fine too.
I have windows!!!!!!
And all the electronics are on wired all nice and OCD neat!!
And all working!!! It does have both light sockets, just had 60 watt bulbs at home, so put the 1 in each side to make sure all was working!!
Just need to do the back and the semi auto tuner!! Yay!!!!
My bf...
Hey Sally. I've had my cooler, fans, & thermo for at least a month now, but hard to find time with the 2 yr old to even breathe! Lol Decided to reread the beginning and I have a question! :)
In the tray section it says 3-4 trays, so 4 will fit u think? I already have 5, but the ones I have only...
So!! Everyone remember how my bf was having a fit for me to make coolerbators out of styrofoam coolers instead of spending $70 on a Coleman???? Well, I just sold my kids old 4wheelers that they r WAY too big for now!!! I took $80 out of it so I could buy the Coleman!!!! I just didn't WANT...
I just looked. We even have a water based high gloss interior/ exterior paint here. Would that be ok?
If so, I guess it'd be worth a try at least, since its all free! I'll start with just 1 of them. If I don't like, I can always reuse the fans and thermostat I already purchased, and buy the...
