    80 % hatch rate as day 21 officially comes to a close. 4 eggs remain unpipped. We candled them and they look alive without an internal pip. Veins are still able to be seen near the edge of the air sack. We are wondering if maybe their area of the bator was just a tad cooler? Will candle them...

    I don't know all the models but I do believe the Sportsman is a cabinet bator. We have 11 out of 22 hatched today so far. Our worst case scenario is 50%.....yay! Surprisingly our FBCMs are hatching like crazy. I think there are only 3 left to hatch out of 11 that we had at lockdown. The Blue...

    We've got FBCMs in the bator now. Using a Tac light with over 200 lumens we were able to see veining at 4 days. It is a 20 some odd dollar light. They are a pain to see in though and some eggs we still couldn't make much out in.
