In this video I give a quick overview on how to build a small retaining wall out of pressure treated 4x4s. I mostly buried the first board, and used the structural screws (linked below) to fasten the boards together. In hindsight I probably would have gone with a bit longer screws.

In this video I show you how to modify a computer case fan to run off of wall power, and how to control the fan's speed. Amazon links to everything shown in this video below.
Having a fan to circulate the air in an incubator makes the temperature more uniform which increases your hatch rate. The Hovabator 1602N comes with pre-drilled holes for an 80mm fan. So any 80mm fan should work, but you want one that is quiet and speed adjustable without over paying.

In this video I show you how save money by using a standard, after market power supply with the Hovabator 1588 which requires reverse polarity. Note that you need a 5.5x2.1mm DC jack. The 5.5x2.5mm jacks are very common and the adapters are cheaper, but they WILL NOT work. See below for links to products used in this video.

This is a quick video of the second batch of quail hatchlings. Once I saw the first pip I raised the humidity a bit higher than I did last time.

Day 14. In this episode we put the remaining 29 quail eggs into LOCKDOWN! Sounds all tactical, but all it really means is we take them out of their egg turners, lay them flat on the bottom of the incubator and raise the humidity.
