    Second hatch taking a while...

    Thus I reach day 21 with no further developments, so I think I'll be pulling the plug on this one.:barnie Out of 72 eggs, 26 were infertile and 4 hatched. Unfortunately, I woke up to find one chick dead in the brooder and one runt is acting lethargic; I don't know if it is going to make it or...

    eBay eggs...0 development

    I would contact the seller and (politely) suggest that you believe the packaging was inadequate and that the shipping service may have mishandled the eggs due to a lack of markings.

    If your dehydrator has an adjustable temperature, it would be probable, but you would want to do a dry run to get everything right. The major difference between an incubator and dehydrator is the amount of air exchange, but the temperature is going to be considerably higher in fixed temperature...

    Bought wrong egg turner... can it be modified?

    Assuming it is powered by 110 volts, you could just wire it to a lamp cord, but it would turn continuously. At least, going off the rating from the motor on my generic turner, the one controlled from a PCB turns at 3 RPM, so your eggs would be turned about 6 times per minute. The motor you...
