How many eggs did you start?

 

[bamadude]

I started 31 but some were 2 weeks old. I also lost power for 8 hrs on june 7.

Have any more hatched?

On my next hatch i will rotate the top 180 degrees every day. It seems the first to hatch were the eggs directly under the heating element

73.6% hatch rate is pretty dang good!! I dont know if I would change much other than avoiding temp. spikes.... fan.

I have more pipping and chirping and its day 22. On the 9300 the heating element is about a 4"x4" square that isnt in the center. Im thibking if i rotate it 180degrees each day it will heat more evenly. The eggs directly under the element all hatched on day 20. Today the eggs far away from the element are hatching.

Rocky im not sure if a computer fan like the 1 in ur pic would work on the 9300 with the auto egg turner installed. There is very little space between the eggs and the element. I wish some1 would invent a mini squirrel cage fan that would fit into 1 of the spaces in the egg turner.
