IncuTurn Egg Turner with HovaBator 5800 Genesis to Incubate Chicken eggs

Thank you I'll try it. I put regular eggs in it and marked them. They didn't seem to move. I'll try the tape.

Thank you!!

I also set mine up, 38 faverolles eggs went in last night. However, since the eggs went in, the hmuidity seems to have jumped from 45% to 55% now? I pulled the red plug on top still the same.

Also, my turner makes a LOT of noise-clicking type noise-is that the same with everyone else? I noticed the side farthest from the turner motor are definaely turning but the ones closest to the tuner (with less eggs) doesnt seem to be turning as much?

The best way to get a lower humidity with these is to cover part of the water tray with foil.

Are you using the incuturn turner? As the Turner slides all the eggs should turn together.
Is it the motor clicking internally? Like the gears are not meshing? Or is it a slower click. If slower, the Turner could be snagging on the wire mesh.

The turner is louder than I would have expected. The motor is just noisy. It is odd at how small and slow it is for all of the noise it makes.

I have the Incuturn egg turner and it runs constantly and makes the most annoying noise. I also have a regular hovabator egg turner and it only turns once every two hours or so, and the noise is very inconsequential. But that Incuturn is giving me a headache and I think it uses a lot of power. The chord is much thicker and the plug is three prong. I have the two incubators running side by side in a corner of my kitchen that gets no traffic. Too late to move them now, I only have a week left on this batch of eggs, but I won't do this again. I was hoping I could keep a better eye on the temperature and humidity this way.

Okay all, I have a question... I got a brand new Incubator and Turner. I ordered it from Incubator Warehouse through Ebay............
............I am looking to know specifically if anyone has ever used this type of turner and what were the results? Also, does the egg being more concentrated to one side and light on one side indicate definitively that there is a problem?

I have used this turner multiple times and have to help a larger amount of chicks that are breech (trying to hatch through the small end of the egg). Other than that it seems seems to be OK.

I have lost the little plastic pin that holds the turner to the motor and can find a replacement nowhere.

If the motor is not centered it will make more noise. I did order an extra motor from eBay in case it goes out. At least with the noise, I know that it is working.

You have to make sure that the wire floor is lined up the proper way when you use the IncuTurn turner, the wires sitting highest need to be running the direction the turner moves or it will make even more noise.

I hated the IncuTurn, I sent it back and exchanged for a proper upright turner. I had eggs going sideways and cockeyed and had a terrible hatch. Never again.
