Ok so its not necessarily something physically built but darn helpful when building or calibrating incubators as well as keeping track of your hatches!

Hi everyone when I built my incubator I also built a excel spreadsheet to help me calibrate the temp and keep track of the incubation process. Then I kept adding different things until I was really happy with it, I built one for coturnix quail, chickens, ducks, call ducks and Turkeys! If anyone is handy with excel and wants to reconfigure it, it is not password protected, just turn off the protection without a p/w. Its very handy and I can look back at my previous hatches and see where I screwed up or what I did different. I couldnt believe the difference between shipped eggs and my own eggs, I was just amazed with the difference in hatch rate. I just replace "master" with the date they were set in the file name and then I can keep a record of each hatch. Now time to set eggs!

Heres an example for turkeys

Thanks Al!

No Problem! Iv been going through PSO trying to figure out and save some of the threads that may be helpful to others... I still dont have excel on here but you can use the master duck one for turkeys... just edit and reconfigure it to your needs! as soon as I get excel im guna save one for turkeys.

here is a fully compatible FREE excel program.

Darn, no excel on my computer. Gawd can you take a snapshot of an open file and post the picture (chicken one please!) Thanks.

I made some changes to the above files and made a Turkey one!

Thanks Gawd! Very useful. Wow you really do incubate at low humidity!

not a problem at all Robbie! if I can help anyone it was well worth it. those numbers are just made up I aim for 45% during incubation and 60% during lockdown.

Thanks for posting and sharing. I like how its set up. Should come in handy.

Thanks.
