Thanks!

Question. I am doing a dry incubation. I had a broody hen get up from her eggs so I put one of the eggs that was developing into the incubator. It appears to be 4 or 5 days ahead of the eggs that were in the incubator, maybe more I'm just a noob going off of pictures from the internet. Can I...

I realized I failed you guys and forgot to report the "success" of my first incubation. I ended up hatching 6 out of the 10 good eggs I went into lockdown with. Thank you for the advice and help. Just noticed a broody hen yesterday so on to the next training session in my epic chicken adventures.

Thanks for the quick answer! The chirping is awesome!!

Is it ok to leave things in the incubator while eggs are hatching? To be more specific I want to do a time lapse and have a koozie in the frame with my company logo on it to make a cool ad video.

Well I guess we all started at the same time. First timer here and I am excited to see 2 pips. I hope this feeling doesn't go away the longer I incubate.

So while I was trying to make my flashlight a candler using business cards wrapped around the top and tape, works great, I realized that the top screws off and makes the perfect candler. Picture with the egg is in a room with the lights on.

So is it ok to leave the eggs in the turner but turn it off instead of removing the turner and setting the eggs on the metal rack? What I did was line the bottom with cling wrap, for easier clean up, then fold some bar towels, they fit perfectly on the sides, and place them under the vent holes.

I did a lot of research on incubators and decided on this one,price was my reason. Figured knowing that the digital display that comes with it was junk, as well as any other mishaps, I was already a step ahead. I actually have 4 in there right know just so I can make sure the temp is right...

Just plugged in a Farm Innovations 4250, first time ever trying to hatch. Glad I got on here and read all the comments. Already have some good advice and I am just making sure everything is stable. Let's hope for some sort of success on my first attempt.
