Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Practical Poultry Forum. Google it. But they're largely a bunch of 'Nice Jumper' wearing idiots who call their fowls " Girls ". Ye've been warned ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jasper65 6 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 This forum has a bit of info WH. If you're running a Incubator don't add any water to it, the Humidity in this country is plenty! just run it dry even if its forced air. you will need to add water to your Hatcher at the pip stage when you move them across just to stop alot of the chicks from sticking ...

jasper65 6 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 any chances of other peoples set ups just out of intrest pm me if you like. W.h The Incubator I use is a Grumbach and swear by it. for some reason alot of people can't get on with them but I think its down to them more than the Incubator, I have tried a good few in the past and some fuctuate a fair bit when the Room temperature rises or drops! this has to be poor insulation on the Incubator to cause the Internal temperature to alter.... Obviousley the ideal situation is to have a good stable room that holds a fairly even temperature! the problem is most rooms even without windows will cool in the evenings in the summer Months which can effect some Incubators which will then need tweaking, you could compensate for it by useing heaters in the evening but then there is all sorts of things that can happen like altering the Humidity of the room... This Grumbach is in a room that does rise up and down in Temperature but it holds accurate + / - .1 of a degree which ever way the external room temperature turns... The Incubator room is a mess as I throw everything all over the place this time of the year , The eggs also lays on Rollers as you can see in the other pic.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
