    Automatic turning Vs. Hand turning.....

    Which is better?? How often would I have to turn the eggs if I didnt get an automatic turning one? I am slightly hooked thanks to my neighbours attempt at hatching a clutch although sadly it didnt work out and non hatched and so am looking at getting my own small bator. Maybe the R-com mini egg...

    Eggtopsy questions?

    It was such a shame they were bought in eggs from ebay and the clutch was 12 to start with I candled them with neighbour and found that 10 were 'bad' speckled eggs and early deaths so that left two, one like I said we deffo saw movement on day 21 and thought we heard some noise but then it wasnt...

    Eggtopsy questions?

    The humidity was up to 70-71% (it was as high as the bator went and was put up that high as the booklet that my neighbour was following said to put it up to 75%) It was my neighbours clutch but I have been researching things for her as her lappy has broken, and I was helping out and looking...

    Eggtopsy questions?

    Day 23 still no peeping?

    Trouble is I am going away for the weekend and like I said it is my neighbours egg/s (there is a possibility of two being formed) I will try to go over tomorrow morning before I go away and let her know. I did tell her to leave them in the bator until day 28 as that is what I had read but it is...

    Day 23 still no peeping?

    Do you think they are dead? There was still some movement yesterday but my neighbour has been out today so not seen any movement. She candled this morning and said the beak hadnt penetrated the air sac. Do you think there is any hope??? Day 21 we saw alot of movement and thought we heard calling...

    Eggs chirping and moving

    ok just youtubed how they are meant to sound inside the egg... its meant to be more of a cheep but the eggs I have been listening to (unless it was the incubator making the noise) make more of a long drawn out cluck like a 'buzz' noise its really hard to explain ?????? Im confused!!!!

    Thanks again pete.... as my name says I am only the neighbour to the person who has them I was there for four and a half hours today clucking to them and watching them so they may have done something since I have come back home (but doubt it as neighbour said they will call me back round when...
