    Brinsea Mini Advance- What angle to set it to?

    Hello all. I am a school teacher hatching eggs in my classroom. I've used my Brinsea Mini for years, but had a poor hatch last year with lot of fully developed chicks that didn't make it. I've ujust noticed my incubator has a setting for the angle of the rotation of the eggs, even though the...

    Free Chicks to a Good Home in DFW

    I am school teacher with 5 eggs due to hatch on Thursday. I am looking for local in the DFW metroplex to take the baby chicks when they hatch. I received them from a local breeder on Creiglist, so I don't have any info about them or their history. Assuming they all hatch on time (I'm hoping...

    May Hatch-a-Long!

    I have 7 eggs in the bator. 4 for sure showed signs of development, with a maybe on 5th one. Two are definitely clear. Air sacs looked a little wonky. They were kinda skewd over to one side a little, but not super bad. They didn't look saddled at all (which makes sense because I picked them up...

    May Hatch-a-Long!

    Porous egg question------ I'm a teacher and I'm hatching eggs in my classroom. Since I hatch eggs as a class project, I'm usually not too picky about what kind or type, and usually find a seller on Craigslist to go with. Well, today we candled for the first time (day 5), and all of my eggs are...

    Hatching in Classrooms

    Can I join up if we just set our eggs today? I've been hatching eggs in preschool classroom for years! We've already had one big mishap- I didn't put the fan back in the bator the right way when I was cleaning it last year. So I thought it was working when it wasn't. I've got it going now, and...

    What's the earliest point that you can candle and tell if the eggs are developing?

    I set my eggs about 5 days ago. Before I placed them in my Bresnea Mini, I ran the bator for day, and all looked good. Temps were reading 99.6 and steady, so I placed my eggs in. 5 days later, I went to candle them and the eggs were cold, as in cold like they hadn't been placed in bator at all...

    Bresnea Mini- Not heating the eggs

    Found the problem. It was on my end. I did something stupid. So, now I've got it up and running. Any thoughts on whether the eggs will be ok? They were being turned, but stored on the side (eeek).

    Bresnea Mini- Not heating the eggs

    Urgent help needed. I set 7 eggs in my Bresnea Mini 5 days ago. At the time thermometer had read a steady 99.6, and I had it warmed up for the day. Today, I pulled out the eggs to candle them, and they were cold. Cold like they hadn't been incubated at all. I candled about half, and none...

    May Hatch-a-Long!

    I love hatching eggs in the classroom. Ours just hatched today too, and it's been very exciting. I live an apt, and can't keep mine, but I'm able to find someone local to give them too. If you want to do it again, I recommend the Brinsea (we have a mini advanced). I struggled with an LG in the...

    May Hatch-a-Long!

    Whoot!!! We have fuzzy butts! Out of the 7 we set, we've got 3 so far, and I see pips on all but one of the other eggs. I have one with a really strange pip and or zip, and some that have been chillin' with their pips for a while (like past 24 hrs). They may not make it. Very excited over...

Most of the rest of eggs are pipped as well, and some look like they are starting to zip, but the zips are in wierd places.
