    An ID-10-T error in incubation? Apparently-developed chicks never making it out of their eggs.

    So our second round of quail chicks has largely hatched, and we seem to have found the same problem this time as last. Our incubator runs at 100.5 degrees and for hatching we get humidity up to around 78% and it drops to around 69 by the time they're done. We dry incubated both times until...

    Scrumdidlyump’s First Hatchapolooza

    Day 4 14 eggs from my silkie roo and cinnamon queen and buff orpington hens. I think both will produce sex linked chicks? Shells are dark, so tricky to see. Definitely movement and development in 3! THIS IS SO COOL

    Little giant vs Nurture Right 360

    Hey y’all! New guy here with what’s going on in my attempt at being a chicken dad. So, I bought a Nurture right 360 and a little giant still air. Tbh I hadn’t read anything about the 360 when I bought it; it was just the better looking one at tractor supply. I ended up buying the LG soon after...

    PSA: red wire heating element in Lil Giant and 2020 Nurture Right 360 out-gassing latex?

    LATEX ALLERGY ALERT! Hi all, I was wondering if anyone else experienced this... I purchased a Little Giant with the Red wire heating element. Plugged it in, brought it to temperature, and then noticed it was smelling like plastic. Checked everything. Nothing was melting. Finally determined it...

    Little giant, low temps

    I’ve got a full incubator, it’s a little Giant styrofoam forced air one, the two thermometers in the Bator read 99.5, as does the digital one, but when I check it against my digital human thermometer it reads a bit low 96-97 degrees. Is this too awfully low? Should I try to adjust it up?I’m dry...

    Does Little Giant use teflon???

    I just had a mass chick death and people are asking about the light bulb. Could a Little Giant non stick base heat lamp be teflon coated? The box doesn't say, but non stick sounds suspicious. Any one else encounter this problem?.

    Little Giant Incubator Temp WAY off

    Hello, I have a Little Giant Still air bator that I used on my first hatch last year (yield of 2 out of 12, but they were shipped eggs), and from what I remember, the temp stayed pretty steady and within normal range, obviously enough so that I got some chickens. Anyway, my hens just started...

    HOW TO LOWER HUMIDITY

    My incubator is a little giant with built in thermometer and setting as well as a hudmidity showing. It stays around 50% but I need to lower it to 30% and to keep it on 30%. Can anyone tell me any ways to do that?? I added a bowl of water to keep the egg from drying out so quickly. I even added...

    Fertile?

    I pulled my five salmon favs out of our incu today at day three for candling. I know it’s a little early but I’m not sure the rooster has mated and am trying to see if any of the eggs are fertile. I will briefly describe them and attatch pictures. They all had air cells, the younger, the...

    Question? INCUBATOR DURING POWER OUTAGE :(

    A short time ago, a drunk driver took out a power pole on our street early one morning. It knocked out our power feed. The utility crews replaced the pole after the rescue and the police did their stuff. The whole ordeal lasted about 3 hours. We had 2 Incubator going. One was on day 15 and one...
