I was amazed at how fast chickens hatch compared to ducks! Grats!

Unfortunately, I'm not that handy, especially not with electronics. I'd probably end up making hard boiled/steamed eggs instead.

I definitely don't like how short it is. But, it keeps temp really well. I tend to overstuff my incubators, so for me the turner wasn't an issue as I just did it myself. I do put something over the bottom to help with how slick it is. I tend to just transfer eggs or newly hatched babies to...

Are you buying it? :)

Yes, with the Maticoopx. I still double check the temperature with another thermometer or two though, just to make sure.

I've had no issues with the temperature, and I live in a trailer in Ontario, Canada. I incubated in March with no issues, and it was cold in here!

Amazingly, all three wrong-enders hatched, by themselves!

The Muscovy eggs are from my own birds, but the Chantecler eggs were bought at an in-person auction (local eggs) and I had to drive them home. Very poor results from those eggs, only 5 had any development, and only 3 made it to lock down.

Here's a question for y'all: I currently have both Muscovy eggs and chicken eggs hatching. Both these sets were originally hand turned in the MeeF, but transferred to the Maticoopx for several days before lockdown, using the horizontal turners in it. Half the eggs pipped at the wrong end...

That was my point, yes.

Are those pinecones or eggs?!?

1- No Leghorns. And they don't have enough meat on them :P That's what the Chantecler will be for next year, eggs and meat. 2- I actually prefer to let the females hatch those out themselves. 3- Too young to lay yet. I put another bunch of Silkie Mix eggs in (17, but they are a bit old). I...

I have an empty incubator. This will not do. Question is, what to put in it?

That's why I prefer to hatch out in the Maticoopx. Did you put anything under the turner for added grip?

No countdown, use your calendar (which I know you already do). And yes it was set higher (for some reason they have it preset at 100.something). If the alarm goes off, press the down arrow to turn it off. And... that's all I can remember off the top of my head. :)

I don't think you could PAY me to get that!!! Wait, no, if I got paid I'd use it.. Once. And why do I keep seeing "malfunctional" instead of "multifunctional"?

Once these eggs are hatched, I may move my Chantecler eggs over to it. Although, I have more duck eggs due for lockdown on Friday... I NEED MORE INCUBATORS!!!

My first full hatch in the Matioopx is well under way. Technically, day 21 isn't until later tonight, but these were all banty eggs. Not surprising, the OEGB/Silkie mixes hatched first, and so far I have 9/20 out, with more on the way. I also tossed in the last of the power outage survivor...

I would never pay that for a rabbit, but would be happy to take the money! :lau They had a bottle-fed goat kid there. Online ads sell those for between $100-200. This one went for around $400 I think! Just shook my head... I'm new at auctions, but I've seen a lot of them in videos. I...

Already thinking about it, lol!
