Ladies and Gentlement,
I am sorta confused. I have read posts and looked at the chart, I'm confused. I have a Little Giant incubator which has 2 "slots?" which hold water. I read where the temp should be 100 degrees to incubate the eggs. As I have been reading, it sounds like the temp should be different with forced air and wet bulb? So mine has forced air and an auto egg turner, I know, the turner has nothing to do with it. Could someone explain the "wet bulb" to me? I fill the two "slots" with water and get the temp set to 100 for quail. Is this correct? I don't have anything to measure humidity, but can get something if needed.
For those that don't know, the Little Giant is just a styrofoam box with a fan, very touchy thermostat, and 1/4" hardware cloth. My 1st hatch out of 16 eggs that looked good when candled, hatched 8. I would appreciate any input as I have recently put 115 eggs in it. This temp and wet bulb thing has me wondering if I have my temp right. The thermometer that came with it is the "old" style glass with red mercury.
Any suggestions?
Jeff
