update! Day 29- all 6 ducks hatched- 2 pipped backwards, which needed assist and one of those is not super thriving but everyone else seems to be doing well and fluffing up- I only had 1 of the remaining bantam Cochins hatch on day 22, yesterday, so today I picked it up some surrogate friends so...

tonight is day 27 for my Runner ducks and day 21 for my cochin bantams and we have 2 duck eggs pipped!! I know they will take a while to hatch, but its almost day 22 for the cochin bantams and I am worried they have not pipped yet. usually they go a little earlier. crossing my fingers!

I almost forgot how difficult it is to twiddle your thumbs on lockdown days!! I have my 6 Runner Duck eggs and 2 remaining Bantam Bobtail Cochin eggs ( originally started 24 in the 360 but shipping was rough) in my Kebonnix both set to hatch starting thursday/friday! the wait is sooo hard. I...

Hi Y'all! Update: eggs have been coming and going over the last week or two, getting things organized into the proper incubators. Duck eggs are a few days out from hatch and I ended up with 6 strong eggs between Janoel12 and Kebonnix- I felt the Kebonnix had the most accurate and stable...

Day 10 on the Runner Duck eggs. I checked for viable life today- still have 9 strong babies! 4 left in the Janoel12 and 5 left in the Kebonnix. Notes on each bator- The Janoel and Kebonnix seem to stay within a degree or so. The Janoel has slightly larger swings up and down within that...

Today I decided to take a snap shot of my Govee thermohygrometer grafts showing the whole days fluctuation and averages. Each image has the name of the incubator it represents. The NR 360 keeps a TIGHT temperature rating as you can see barely fluctuating, while the Janoel and Kebonnix oscillate...

This is awesome!! I also started out making my own. My first about 17 years ago was an old Colman cooler that I rigged with a lamp and a water heater thermostat. It worked wonderfully. After a few years it broke down and fell apart- I tried to make more iterations, fancier each time but none...

Seccond set of eggs came to put a first batch into the NR 360. A little dirty on some, I decided to wash the single dirtiest one. Unfortunately one of the goose eggs was rotten upon arrival. It smelled bad, was a little damp but no cracks. Dark one in photo. It started to ooze as it heated up...

Update on day 5, runner duck eggs! in a shocking turn of events, somehow I didn’t kill the eggs with low temps the first few days. After candling today only 2 eggs showed no development out of 12 shipped eggs. One in the kebonnix, and one in the Janoel12. My govee says each bator is stable...

My NR 360 seems much more reliably stable than the little cheap other two. I would say your NR 360 is likely calibrated fine and you probably also received a well calibrated Thermohygrometer (they can lose calibration) but mine was certainly off compared to a few other cross references. When in...

Welp. I trusted a shotty thermometer and I think my Janoel12 was about 4 degrees lower than the thermometer said it was, the last few days. Bator and device were reading about 100 on the dot- just cross checked with a meat thermometer, a govee and a liquid one and they all said it was only...

Up first, I had 12 Runner Duck eggs shipped to me. 6 white, 6 blue. Air cells are a bit jumbled, but everyone arrived in tact. I split the eggs between the Kebonnix and the Janoel12 after setting them up and letting them run for 2 days first to check for stability and temp flux. it seems they...

Howdy Y'all- Its been a good 10+ years since I've been on here and I am feeling excited to jump back into a passion my younger self once had. I use to LOVE building my own incubators from random scrap parts and would hatch many batches ( mostly successfully!) with my other bird friends. Since...
