Isn't it great! I will never understand anyone who would choose a brinsea over the incuview.

The turning tray comes out. A few people have had issues with chicks getting legs caught under the tray. So it's better to just remove it.

I shoot for 60 to 70. Sometimes it hits 90, when there are 5 chicks zipping at once.

I fill the outer and the middle. Depending on the time of year, I might have to fill the smallest tray too.

Open. I've never used this incubator with the vent hole closed. It's positioned just above the fan, so it's constantly having air drawn in. No issues with stable humidity at all. The innermost tray filled will keep the incubator in 30 to 35 range. Middle tray keeps it at about 40. Exterior tray...

Mine is retired for the summer. Got broodies doing the incubating for the next couple months.

I find that the fan blades need a good wipe down every other incubation.

It's just easier to disinfect it thoroughly if you unscrew the screen. You don't want that fluff getting up into the heating elements. And you can get the fan cleaned up a bit while you've got it exposed.

Normal for post hatch. Just a preview of how much down, dust, and dander those chicks can produce. If you think that's bad, just you wait till they start feathering in. Unscrew, blow out the debris, and disinfect.

More info needed. Shipped eggs or local? Humidity? It can take a lot of practice to get really good, consistent hatches. And there a lot of things that can go wrong along the way.

The issue with keeping the turning tray in is a safety concern. Chicks can get stuck, legs can get wedged, it's just not a good idea to leave it in. Remove ASAP. A few minutes is not going to hurt anything.

Adjust the set temp down by a degree. If they hatch a day early, than you know your temp is still a bit high. Lower it another half a degree for your next batch of eggs. If they hatch a day late, than the incuview temp was correct, and you can adjust it back for your next hatch. Better to lower...

The hatch timer is only set for 21 days. You can't change it. It's either on or off.

That is the temperature sensor.

Directly from the instructions that came with a replacement IncuTherm unit - Set Temp : This will move the temperature up and down by 0.1 degree increments. If you hold the UP or DOWN buttons down, it will change more rapidly. NOTE: the temperature sensor on this device is very sensitive and...

Just be sure to get one that reads the same as the others.

And you can pick up an inexpensive humidity gauge at just about any pet supply store that has a reptile section.

Take it out. Bad things have happened on occasion when it's left in.

Take the turning tray out completely. Chicks can get toes, legs, or even heads stuck in it. And don't trust the built in humidity gauge.

Calibrate the incutherm to ensure that it is reading accurately. Then adjust the incuview controls.
