So far I have 54 chicken eggs in the incubator. And my quail are starting to lay again too. I need to make another tray and I'll be able to put another 3 cartons. Also trying to think of a rolling system so I won't need the cartons and I'll be are to fit a lot more eggs. Temperatures and humidity (usually around 40 to 50 but I needed to refill the reservoir when I took this) have been holding well. Today will be 15 days for the first carton and I'll be candling them tonight. Hoping for a much better hatch then I got last time. #chickeneggs #quaileggs #diyincubator https://www.instagram.com/p/COiGR4knMfr/?igshid=m86d3520xkaa

Been very busy today. Started very early this morning (or very late last night) and installed the door on the incubator. That's a magnetic latch to keep it closed. Still need to install the window but I'll do that later. I've got eggs and I'm itching to hatch. Next was a video appointment with our youngest's diabetes dr. Took a little while to figure out how to get everything working properly but we got it done. Then I moved the momma pigs and all the youngins into the big pig pen so I could separate the boys. Then I moved the sheep to a new spot. Again, I made a lane and they would not follow me. Apparently I don't look anything like BoPeep. I won't be doing the lane anymore. I'll just move them to a spot directly adjacent to wherever they are. The last picture is my asparagus coming up. I meant to grab one and munch on it but forgot. That's ok. I'll get some tomorrow. #pigsofinstagram #asparagus #incubator #diy #diyincubator https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ijeYyAAkA/?igshid=1vv7wk5hr0j5l

The DIY incubator was a bust and all my eggs got cooked when the humidifier went down. Oh well. Here's to hoping the #silkies do a better job than me! #diyincubator #fail #silkiechickens #totherescue
