Temp and humidity control

Dan Pitts:
Update on my first hatch. 20 made lockdown, and I hatched 14 of 20. The hens had only been laying for about 4 weeks, and the eggs were still a little small, so I was happy with 70%. All chicks were healthy, no splayed legs or crooked feet, and no after hatch deaths. The hatch did drag out slowly for 2 days. Air cells looked a little small, so when I set again last Sunday I shot for a first 18 day humidity of 35% instead of my regular 40. My new incubator arrived Tuesday, and I set it last night, again at 35%, so I should have 2 groups hatching the week of the 14th. I will update again after those hatches if anyone else is interested

Susan Mouw:
Uhm, Dan

I know you're kinda new here and all that, but you must learn the rules.  I'm not sure where this one is posted, but I'm sure I can find it if I must.

The rule is....

If you're going to post about successful hatches, you must post pics of chicks! ;)

Dan Pitts:
I promise, I tried  ;)
From the iPhone, when I tried to add as attachment it said the file size was too large. I'll see if I can figure it out, because I have more coming around Valentines Day

Don:
I have the same problem with pictures Dan.  I think we need to have Susan show us how to re-size pics so we can attach them and put more eye candy on the forum.  Sounds like your hatching is coming along well.  Did you get any Splash by chance out of these hatches?  Get out and enjoy one of the upcoming shows.  Even if you don't show often, you get to see how your birds and those folks around you compare.   Good Luck!  I sent you an email.

1. Right click on the image and click "properties" it shows how big the image is in (kb) 125kb is max to upload
2. Right click on the image and click "Open with" and click Paint
3. Once open on the top left you will see re-size. Click re-size and either choose to re-size the % or pixels.
(I personally re-size with pixels)
4. Choose how small you want to re-size. Then click "save"!.
5. Check image size by repeating step 1 (if still too big then repeat steps 2 and 3)
6. Once you got the kb size right then upload

-This is the way I learned how to do it without downloading special programs.
-Sometimes shrinking the photo the first time will actually make it larger (dont ask me why lol) just repeat -steps 1 through 3.

Susan if you have an easier way please let us know hahah :)
- I learned cutting the pixels about 60% does the trick.
