From incubator to broody?? Shipped eggs.

When are you setting eggs!?!

Oh my, somehow I wrote that I wanted to set eggs in the brinsea now. But I meant “from now on” I don’t plan on setting any more eggs until my own chickens start having fertile eggs, which I have no idea when that will be hahaha. I gave away 7 cockerels in the past week but I still have 1-2 in my oldest batch of chicks.

I got excited there... I'm not hatching so I'm trying to keep living the dream through everyone else

lol I feel you!!!! I truly have hatched my last batch for awhile! Maybe until this lavender silkie baby grows up enough to get babies from

In that case, maybe we can band together to try and stay the course and resist all hatching urges

Wow I wonder if my incubator is having that same issue since your hatched sounded quite like mine!! Every single time I checked the temps (very frequently) they were all normal but I am convinced that the incubator is junk. I hope to use my new (to me) brinsea mini now.

Unless the incubator is a Little Giant, it may not be junk.
Even the most expensive electronics can be inaccurate out of t he box. The temperature readings may just be off. All you have to do is verify them and adjust accordingly or reset it if it has a calibration feature.

True, they can be off, but heat spikes should not happen like it did in mine

Occasionally my little giants spiked to 107 and would settle to low 90s and back up again. The high temp was for enough duration to kill the embryos.
