well guys it's absolutely tipping down Lorraine so I've decided that we're
going to have a little look at the incubator control mechanism that loads
of you asked about and I'm also going to show you some clips of the birds over
the last few weeks so know how they've grown and what have you so that's coming
right down we're gonna start with this and before I go any further that guys as
you can see just in there this product came from incubator warehouse comm okay
loads of your ass where you can get one now this screen I've plugged it in just
to show you obviously they're going no heat because we've just got the lid on
the floor because we're not using the incubator at the moment but I just
thought I would show you what's going on here at the moment now is telling us
that the temperature is coming up on your side because it's on the floor okay
so that the temperature is showing as nineteen point one degrees C HTR is the
power that's being utilized in order to keep it around that oughta make it climb
okay we've got as you can see three little
control buttons here we got up down or enter so I can allow us to set no
pressing enter is like the menu button it allows us to go through really moment
it allows us to go through each of their settings and then we can go up and down
depending on what we need within the system okay right and we can set this
and the great thing about this little piece of equipment is it can be used for
poultry it can be used for reptile eggs it can be used for anything like that so
it's really good for that and another good thing at that you could use it fall
is for incubating Queen cells from beehives
so because you can change this temperature to what we require
right so underneath this is the part that a lot of people want to see so
there's a little circuit board with some standoffs as you can see here and here
is a ceramic heat block which is part of the electrical system and basically that
ceramic heat block is for them right the rounds as you can see one on each side
face and all they do there's a power supply here that goes to 12 volts and
they pump out heat they get quite hot and then that heat is then pull through
this little CPU fan or a little computer fan and that then moves a around the
incubator so that the the a doesn't get stale and that's essentially all it is
and that's all you need for the heating so if you didn't want the egg turning
side something like that is ideal so anyway guys that's that now we're going
to go and take a look at how the birds have been getting on and the first thing
I've got for you is one of the chicks of the second batch hatching out so we've
caught that we'll put a bit of music along to the clips just so you can see
how they're getting on and then I'll come back to you in the end see you in a
moment
okay guys so these are the four chicks that hatched up from the eggs that we
put into the incubator when the first three hatched and they've been doing
really well and as you can see they're quite large we had to put him in a
bigger box because the cage is being used by these guys which are the first
three and now look at the size on them so they doing really well at the moment
and won't be long they'll be going at the bot but they are quite low as well
and they're very inquisitive
like that making a mess all over the floor just as well as carpets being
renewed because need to make a mess right but these ones are doing quite
well and they'll end up in the cage when the others go up the pot anyway it's
just a quick update just to let you know that they're all getting on really well
okay so we've come up to the plot now when as a temporary measure because
these birds are getting so big at home we've emptied out the shared we've
stopped the other birds going in it for a couple of feeders hanging up there and
out here we've created a small little area for them with a couple of pallets
and a gate and we're gonna release them all in by here now so we're gonna do
that and once that release them as you can hear em it down in the bucket at the
moment but soon as I release em I'll come back to you okay guys so there they
are now as you can see there's the three bigger
ones from the very first at and four of the five from the other half so now
we've got plenty of space to run around they go on outside space as well as you
can see they're tapping into some food at the moment
excuse my dog whining but they well tuck it into the food now we've put some
bigger pellet in this first Vida just to see how how they do but
making all of its a food to us phone so we've got on top of here now we have
just a mess screen that we can put on top just to stop any cats and and things
coming in they've got this area don't you know that they can run around in to
get a bit of day like this well so they are set up for a little while now in a
temporary enclosure to keep them happy and they can be able to the rain but we
had to get a multiple houses thinking all the time anyway guys that's it for
