Getting Ready!!

The incubator is cleaned and warming up! The next 48 hrs will be spent tweaking the relative humidity,the temperature won't be a problem as it is calibrated to 100 F.


This is my wet bulb,it's a shoelace type material that goes over the wet bulb thermometer. In order to get a relative humidity reading you need two thermometers,one dry and one wet.


This is the wet bulb thermometer reading.


The egg turner is set to automatic,It turns every two hours.


All I need is the eggs! wooohoooo!!
