Thanks!

Creative ideas.

Congrats!

How did they do? If you aren't adding water, 30-40% would be about what I would expect, at least for my part of the world.

You're welcome

Great to know.

That I don't know. It is a standard 110v plug that works here in America. I honestly don't know what would happen with an adapter, but it doesn't come with any.

Actually, on this one, I just let it record straight through. Then, I sped it up in DaVinci Resolve. My only issue was that I lost the memory card with the second half of the hatch. I found it a year later... lol

I have not. If I need to buy another, I look into them.

They were alright!

No. You would have to take the motor off (just a few screws, but plastic may not do well with long term removal, reinstallation. Personally, I just sit mine on the side when washing with the motor on the side facing downward. That keeps the water from getting into the motor. I let it dry out for a few days before plugging back in if I am concerned about any moisture getting in the motor.

@growinggreenways5623 thanks!! :)

As the upload date suggests, it was filmed and uploaded last year in the spring of 2023.

Yeah, its a great incubator. As far as the dividers are concerned, there could simply be plastic inserts that could be placed where needed depending on eggs size. (Like a lot of tackle boxes have. Here's an example: amzn.to/4aAxP1V) But it doesn't, so I do the same thing you are doing and just lean the eggs.

The humidity is adjusted by using the little half circle window the front and the water trays in the bottom. I keep my window open about half way most of the time and you only put water in try one for the first 18 days. After that use tray two to raise humidity. If I need more humidity, I close the window more, and if I want lower humidity, I open it more. If you are doing this and still have high humidity, you may be in a humid environment that doesn't require adding water, or it could just be that your humidity sensor is off. Also, if you add hot water, it creates more humidity when you put it in and sometimes even condensation on the lid, which can get on your humidity sensor. I always recommend room temp water. Just a couple of guesses, since I don't know your situation. Hope something in there is helpful.

Thanks

It seems to be environmental. I know there are people in different areas that don't, but I experienced a significant difference in hatch rate when I started adding water (humidity at 55%, 75-80% last three days) rather than dry hatching.

@@growinggreenways5623 when i add water they all drown in the last 3 days...but my humidity is rarely under 60% in my house lol

Yeah, that would do it. That is perfect for hatching. If I don't add wate, my hygrometer drops down to the low 30's.

@@growinggreenways5623 mine does too in the incubator but first pips its 70%

Hey, if the chicks are hatching and healthy, that's all that matters. Thanks for sharing that info.

Yet manners are free and so many people can't seem to afford them...

I have meant to make me a little pvc frame covered in chicken wire for a few years now. I just haven't gotten around to it. I have a a screen door from an old sliding glass door that I laid over it, but it wasn't long enough and they could still go in on the ends. I probably need to get to making those frames...

@@growinggreenways5623 That's fair. Welll good luck on whatever ya end up on.

I can't disagree with that.

I LOVE bamboo but I live in a climate that gets super cold in the winter and super hot in the summer 😢 wish I could find a variety that could handle my climate!!

Our Black Bamboo handles the heat fine (South Carolina can get into 90's during Summer). It isn't bad during the winters normally, but it did get down to about 10 degrees last winter and killed part of my patch. (Particularly the canes around the edges.)

LoL.... Sure, go ahead and get you one... 😆 🤣 You can see me set one of those up and get an affiliate link in this video 😆 : ruclips.net/video/-IWWk39JY1A/видео.html While you are at it, why don't you warn everyone not to purchase a car when Walmart has bicycles for sale for $150... Those greenhouses are fine if you don't have any options or you need a cheap way to get started, but it's not going to last more than a few years, tops, and isn't going to be energy efficient. You also have no way to regulate temperature for your plants, so you will be constantly babying it. Unless you're just trying out growing, you need a permanent structure like this to make worthwhile and good luck getting the materials to build it for $150. Besides that, most of the stuff in there was mine (watch the full video), and that bee keeping equipment you see me pull out of there is worth 100's of dollars by itself...

I also have to say, I'm glad $150 isn't a big deal to you, but for a lot of people $150 is a big deal. A few hours of work for what amounts to $50 per hour isn't really a bad deal either. A lot of people don't make anywhere near that per hour.

Greenhouse needs some rewelding, but everyone involved is ok.

Thanks for taking time to add a comment.

Well, I had to have someone to blame for putting it in the wrong place... I got a late start, but I've already got some seedlings popping up.

Yeah, ordering eggs is already stressful enough. Having them in a good incubator is important.

I've made a slurry a few times years ago. I spread some around my old homestead. It was hit or miss, but I actually had one spot where it took and started producing small amounts of morels there.

Good luck....

LoL, There should be some good spots down around your area. I found one on the riverbank where all the people fish for the white perch a couple of years ago. Where there is one, there should be more. Look for river/creek bottoms with poplars, sycamores, privet hedges, and/or mayapples.

These are Australorps. It amazing to me that a solid black chicken is half white as a chick.

Absolutely

Was going to say as long as it’s not double insulated but not much about that is insulated so yeah. Ground that frame 😂

Yes, it has a threaded hole on the motor for a ground wire. When I rewire the electrical, I am going with 3 strand wire and will ground it then. Thanks for the comment.

@@joeclifford183 Thought I might add some knob and tube so the motor doesn't feel out of place. LoL

That's not a group loop. That is how a motor is wired, you have to complete the circuit to generate a magnetic field in the coil.

@@longobardirIf the "one bare wire" is connected to the metal frame of the fan, which is then grounded through the metal frame of the greenhouse, then this guy just created a ground loop by connecting his neutral to ground. Even if it wasn't designed that way, but now makes contact with the metal frame, it is now a ground loop. If the "one bare wire" was a disconnected wire that used to be paired with the hot wire, then he "may" be safe as long as he is certain that no part of that bare wire is touching the metal frame. That's a lot of uncertainty and risk for something that is literally $32.38 on Amazon right now.

​@AdamHowellProvo Hey Adam, thanks for commenting. The second wire is not connected or making contact with any part of the frame. It is connected to the fourth coil and is insulated from the coil all the way to where it is connected to the thermostat. So this setup shouldn't be any more dangerous than if I plugged in a box fan as far as I know, but I'm always open to learning more. As for the fan, if you can, send me a link to what you found online. Anything comparable to this is easily over $100 from what I have seen. If you found one that cheap, that would be awesome for people to know where. Thansk.

Please note that this is different from a box fan because the fan motor housing is metal, and can conduct electricity. Typical box fan has an entirely plastic housing, so doesnt need grounding. Going from a 2 prong setup to a 3 prong setup with the green wire connected to the motor metal housing would be the ideal way to repair this fan. :)

@@AdamHowellProvo you missed the part where he said other end of the coil "wasn't connected to anything" The neutral wire probably had been ripped off at some point.

real

Yeah, just go out in your back yard and pick some money off of your money tree, geeze. These poor people, don't they know how to be rich?

​@@schrodingerscat4737yeah! Instead of telling him to to buy a $20 fan, lets not say anything as he connects the fan's metal frame to his neutral, creating a ground loop which eventually burns down his home and greenhouse.

@@AdamHowellProvo exactly, -20$ > no house

Thank you, guys, for offering your financial support. You can find my "Buy Me a Coffee" account here: www.buymeacoffee.com/growinggreenways With you guys and just one more $5 donation, we can get one of those $20 fans. 😂

Thanks

Thanks, will do!

Thanks you, Cynthia!

Yes, sir. I agree.

@@growinggreenways5623 i think Amazon is always out of these lol

It seems like it sometimes. If you see them available, you definitely have to jump on it.

As the chick is developing, it can get attached or stuck to the shell. Rotating keeps that from happening. And yes, the mother hen does rotate her eggs by moving them around with her beak while she sits on them or when she gets off the nest/moves around in the nest. Much of the artificial incubation process is modeled after what the hen does instinctually.

My friends hatched deformed chicks and chicks stuck to one side when the incubator is not turning. So it's a nust to turn the eggs for proper chick development.

As far as I can tell, the manufacturer is simply Maticoopx. They do not list any other company as a manufacturer. I don't know anything beyond that.

You are welcome. I have not frozen them. With my wife's coffee habit, I have never had a shortage. I can't imagine it would make a difference. Freezing draws the water out, but it should re-absorb when defrosting.

Thanks

It looks like they are in stock now. They are not consistent keeping them available. It seems you've got to get them when you can, cause they may not have them when you go back later. amzn.to/3VlRyfC

Their all over Amazon 129$
