@BYC910 IF you are anywhere around and see this I have a question!!! (BTW, how are you? I miss you!) I have someone that uses a Brower 846 and is having trouble "keeping it up".... the humidity that is.....lol Don't you use a Brower? Is there anything special you do to help humidity?
Anyone else for that matter that might have insight to these incubators?
Thank you very much! Yes, a round metal one like yours!HI AmyI'm good just very busy .I'm not sure what that is . If its the old metal one like mine 100egg model still air I put four sponges the size you use in very shallow trays filled with water below the wire cloth . and that gets me 65% for hatch. But I've made modifications to mine added a pc fan changed the wafer for a digital . also put duct tape over the vent hole in the bottom and punched small holes in the tape . also used tape to cover the top vent holes one at a time till the humidity was where I wanted it . you just have to try this and that until you get it where you want it to be .Brower metal incubators are just as dependent on a stable environment as Styrofoam incubators . And humidity just like temperature should be measured at egg top .Also heat spikes happen every time you open the incubator . I only use to hatch in . but I have hatched hundreds of chicks in that thing . If you are incubating and hand turning rotate the top one quarter turn every time you turn the eggs .
also lined it with one quarter inch Styrofoam and added viewing windows . and plastic over the bottom on top of the Styrofoam . the PC fan is where the wafer was . I'm nuts though and do all kinds of weird stuff cutting the plastic for the bottom was a job. broke the first one and cracked the second one .I don't if any of this will help anyone or not but everything I did made it much better.
autopsy on those eggs shrink wrap badly membrane stuck to an eye. What appeared to me to be mold. 6 had ducks in them under developed in them 1 real bad. 5 almost there. One was like I first incubated them. A few eggs had blood and vains no duck. Yolk green and black goo. I praying the ones outside with ducks our good. They will not leave both nests.
