    constant egg trays...

    Im working on my incubator. From 0° the tray will tilt to 40-45°. Would I have any issues if I build a small gear box that would take an hour for it to reach the 45° mark. So from 0 - 45 - 0 - 45 and back to 0 would take 4bours. So from set to lockdown it would constantly be moving very slow...

    auto-turners..

    When designing a auto-turner rack, how "far" do they rotate. If it is sitting flat at 0° is going up 45° and then 45° past 0 in the other direction for a total of 90° good enough? Also in the racks eggs are sat on end and then when in lockdown/hatchery do they just lay its side?

    How often do auto-turners...

    How often do auto-turners rotate? I have a small bator with auto turning trays that I haven't used yet...but am wanting to design and build my own setup. I read most people that hand turn do it 3 times a day.. could I have mine turn every hr or 2 or is that too often. Thanks again for the info.

    hatchery...

    Im slowly getting closer to doing my own hatching. A guy at work just gave me a new (never used) LG with auto turners and a fan setup so it isn't a still air. Can't be a free price. Anyway my question is...is a hatchery an incubator that's set more orless for lockdown till hatching... so when it...
