Thank you!!! So excited!!!

Would love these! 12.00

was normal for my chicks. It took one about 16 hours to start to zip.

I just about had a heart attack thanks to my daughters chick that I thought was dying. Its about 4 weeks old and I heard a strange noise from its pen (inside until it warms up) and I noticed her laying on her side almost under the food dish, her feet were kinda twitching almost like she was...

Im not sure about most of your question but I thought you were supposed to take the turner out before lockdown? I thought I had read that somewhere ( though Im a complete newbie to this and just hatching my first eggs now) Hopefully someone can come along and answer your questions for you.

I had issues with candling and then decided it was my flashlight t hat was the issue. Hubby brought home one that was 130 lumens and I figured out if I candle from the big side I can see more. I am with you on googling to compare, but I am just learning . God luck

Thank you ... I appreciate the answer. I am scared now, up until now it was all anticipation and excitement and now that its here and i want to go back to 17 days ago lol

On day 17, I have some eggs that look like this: and i have others that look like this: I am supposed to go into lockdown tomorrow night, will that hurt the less developed eggs? Or will it all work out some how?

nope not near anything that produces heat, and was actually in a fairly cool room. my husband took it back to the store and got another LG

I had it plugged in for about 5 hours and set on the lowest setting and it would not get lower than 106. i don't have a water weasel it just worried me that the heater was messed up if it wont go lower than 106

I just bought a second incubator (farm innovators pro) and plugged it in and even with it on its lowest setting the temp was 106 and climbing. This can not be right, right? I used about 6 thermometers lol because i wasn't believe the first 3, should i just take it back to the store or let it sit...

are you doing lockdown on Wed?

day 16 for us too. this is our first hatch and I am officially scared LOL
