So a lot has happened kinda. Just today another 56 eggs have gone into lockdown. Next week I'll be hunting around for another heater to use for them since the others have only just turned one week four days I think. The one I helped out of the egg survived but the second one I helped ended up...

UGH! I did it again where I wrote out a post and didn't hit reply. So I just deleted since I bought a table and finally got the babies out. Wasn't a great success rate I think. I'll have to look at how many eggs I put in but I think I've pulled out 48ish and two were in shells stuck. One might...

Well the big incubator was put into lockdown and 2 days later a little chocobo has arrived. As more and more hatch it seems evident that Jake's crew is everywhere. More whites than the eye can see. No pharaohs or other colors yet. I don't know what that means. I mean I would of thought some of...

Well I'm loading again with 58 eggs. There was around 20 left over I think so if I had more rollers I could of had more. Eventually I want to get to the point of fully loading out the 240 two tier incubator to see how that might go. I need more egg layers though and trying to manage them has...

Thank you for getting back to me. That's good then. I'm waiting on the quail to finish laying for the day and then I'll collect them all and run them in the other incubator. Not sure how many eggs will be there but there was quite a pile when I looked the other day. I'll update this with a pic...

Oh I totally forgot my question. So. I was also incubating the quail eggs but the temp is kinda hiigh to begin with here and they are pretty close so I'm deciding to roll the decide on them as opposed to the chicken eggs. Question is this. If power went out for 4 hrs does this mean my lockdown...

Well tonight the power went out and I haven't been keeping up with humidity on the chicken egg incubator, it started to stink once the power went and I just decided to scrap them and start on a fresh batch of quail eggs so moar and moar quail. I know this is a chicken site but oh well. If my...

Side by side do the babies develop...or not. I'm happy if I get a couple out of there. I'm way more confident on the quail. I tell you what. I love every day removing my nippy broody hen just to grab the eggs. I just close my eyes and think Oh here it comes and boy she's feisty. Her sister is...

Inside and on the table then. I'll forgo the garage. I'll probably update the thread with the new layout. I was reading the manual on the incubator and it's got these modes but part of me just wants to do constant temp like the quail. Mind you, my success at quail eggs are far better than...

On the subject of moving the incubators, will the eggs be okay if I'm slow and gentle moving it? I think I probably will just have them running side by side on the table.

Yeah but it's rare to find a person willing to impart knowledge so the other person doesn't sink. After the last incubator debacle I'm hesitant to use the low dresser or whatever those drawers are called that you put in the entry way. I do have a plastic table I might drag inside and use...

You always give the good advice. Ugh. I need more room.

Oh! That's right! I forgot to ask! What do you guys thinking about stacking incubators one on top of the other? They'd be still in their foam boxing of course. Just trying to think of where to put the chicken incubator.

Well. As I look at these eggs. I think the quail eggs will go to uh my friend and I'm really thinking about using the new incubator on the chicken eggs. I stole them out from under some broody hens but they are only a few days old and it might be nice for diesel to have some more ladies and...

It's kinda funny, as I look at the 2nd hand incubator box it has the same quality assurances. Bigass INCUBATOR MADE IN CHINA. I sometimes wonder with two incubators cranking out over maybe 200-300 eggs would it grind me down to try and make a business out of selling chicks? I was talking to...

I'm not gonna lie. My mind has changed considering the company delivered on a Sunday. MADEINCHINA just ****ing oozes confidence and class.

Picked up the 2nd hand incubator today and boy am I impressed! It has two tiers and a little car battery hookup that I'll need to source a battery for. I think those marine deep cycle ones would be the best yeah? I have all the rollers lined up for the first bay. Tonight I'm going to put the...

Nah Auspost sucks and is widely criticized all the time. CEO makes bank as well. Between the long ass delays, posties that just deliver cards that state 'to come and collect your parcel the next day' (or next bloody monday because imagine auspost working the weekend!) Couriers are good though...

Imagine having a mail system like America in Australia! Instead...we have this. Delivery expected 2023-11-06 - 2023-11-08 Whelp. My batch of eggs cannot wait much longer so I'm deciding to look at a 2nd hand incubator today; wish me luck lol.

Well. I decided to select an adorable italian hen to spend time with the lone english white roo that gets picked on by the other isolated males. Figured at least he has company and despite the hen being older in age, she's slighter. Who knows, maybe some of their babies will go into the...
