    How to control temperatures for future aviary?

    I live in North-central texas, which is about 105 degrees in the summer and usually 40-60 degrees in winter. (fahrenheit) This is a huge problem because I am planning on building aviaries for macaws, african greys, cockatoos, amazons, parakeets, cockatiels, conures, and doves. I don't know what...

    Chicks huddled in corner

    I have 3 bantam silkies that are about a week old in a brooder about 3.5ft×1ft, I am using a heat lamp, and I noticed they are huddling in a corner. I know that when they are lumped together it usually means they are cold, but they are not sitting directly under the light. Unfortunately, I do...

    New to Incubation - Temperature management help needed

    This is the first time I have incubated anything. Picked up some eggs locally yesterday and left them (sat pointy side down) and the incubator ("cheap" chinese version for 16 eggs) to run for 24 hours before adding the eggs. Without the eggs the temperature held perfectly fine and using two...

    Help! Today is Lockdown but temp is going up as humidity does.

    I just added more warm water and some sponges to raise humidity and it’s reading 65 but now the temperature has also gone up to 102 and 103. I put the thermometer closer to the bulb to get the warmest read and eggs are usually a degree or two cooler as they are a couple inches further. How can...

    So I'm running some mock trials in an incubator I just made, and the temp/humidity is perfect, but once I raise the humidity my temperature drops about 2-4 degrees. I'm hatching 9 ayam cemani and 9 silver deathlayer eggs soon (18 in one incubator at the same time), and I'm wondering if 96-97 is...

    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...
