Big Red Reserve Six Nines in Monterey Co. Caly 400ft
9 June eggs are still in the styrofoam. I will wait for
incubator to equilibrate then I'll put them in. The
incubater is 115V and draws 40 watts. I have
it set up on the specimen case in the laboratory near
John's desk. It is out of direct sunlight. We are
using an extension to run it off of the battery current.
Toboki-80 to I-5 to 152w to 156W to Ds. Shoretrip Seems
faster than going all the way to 680 or down I-5 to
156W. Also may be short cut to 152W via 33.
I used a flashlight to candle them light means that there is a
red translucent ball surrounded by lighter area it is not dark when
2216 hours hard to get incubator with proper wet bulb. Seems
to be too humid ~92°F wet bulb and 100°F dry bulb. Have set
reservoir at lowest point after having it off for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes without the reservoir the dry was 100°F
and wet was 87°F, I am not confident to leave it over
night without the reservoir so I put it back on.
2246 hrs incubator may have equilibrated set dry = 100°F and
wet = 87°F. Eggs have been in incubater for 30 minutes now.
I will wait 20 more minutes then go to sleep after a
last check on the incubator. 0854 hours dry = 99°F, wet = 84°F
10 June 0526 hours dry bulb T = 100°F, wet T = 100°F There was no H₂O
in pans. 0600 dry T = 99°F, wet T = 86°F. 0825 hours dry T = 97°F
wet T = 86°F. Nest in bowl with first 2 X 4" excelsior
was abandoned, 4 eggs are weaned
