My first hatch of the year will be next week (quails).
From the very first hatch I play guessing game with my family. Anyone else doing it? The rules are simple. I say how many eggs I have in the incubator and they guess how many chicks will hatch. The one who guesses right or gets the closest...
It's always great to see new chicks, no matter if you've seen them once or a hundred times. I will have my quail chicks next week so probably will photo bomb someone's thread as well
Thanks for taking time to share the information. Much appreciated.

I can not see veins. I'm sorry to say but this one doesn't look good. When you turn it can you see movement?(I mean movement from inside not because you move it)
I bought a cheapy a few years back. I removed the turners and my best fit has been 16 chicken eggs although even then it was clearly over crowded. I like my little incubator as it reminds me I also have limited room for poultry and I can't incubate as many as I would like. I purposely won't buy...
