    Egg has externally pipped but beak looks stuck!

    And yes, I said peep at it. Loudly. Peep peep peep!! Mother hens encourage her new chicks. Encourage yours too, see if it peeps back at you. I hope it's okay and peeps back.

    Have you tried peeping at it from outside the incubator?

    Incubator for Shipped Eggs

    Ha! I love that you actually tried all those! Yeah I think the incuview was my other favorite option. I'm amazed at how stable the 360 is, the humidity stability is mind boggling to me. So awesome. I'm going to have to look at some little high power flash lights to see if I can candle...

    Incubator for Shipped Eggs

    I just candled them last night and moved them over into the new incubator. So I'm trying to do the through the window method. Because honestly I hate having to wait and I want to know they're okay.. lol. But I also know that I shouldn't take them out again tonight and look at them again. So I'm...

    So I bought the 360. Lol. Love how stable it is! If this works this good, I might buy another down the road Just tried candling through the window, not on lockdown yet. They're in the turner. But couldn't see the air cell at all. Tried 3 different lights that I use to candle. What light are...

    Do you love it? Does it have great hatch rates? Do you hatch shipped eggs out of it?

    Thank you so much. You did calm my nerves a little bit about the hovabator. They seem like they would be very stable to me. Good to hear from a couple on this thread that use them and get good results. The FI 4250, looks like one to me. Similar. I am the thermometer humidity gadget Queen...

    Good luck on your hatch!! I think you and I might have the same hatch date or close to. Mine are due on the 31st. I candled last night and sadly I'm down to three but they look like a strong 3. I am praying for those little babies!! These are from shipped eggs that were extremely porous...

    Incubator for Shipped Eggs

    Thank you so much, that was so informative! I'm hands on myself too, if a baby needs help, I'm helping. I read that the 360 heats back up very quickly and gets humidity stable again quickly if the lid is opened. I read it's within minutes and less. Has that been your experience? Question on...

    So I'm adding farm innovator 4250 to this list of possibilities. @BrinseaUS cut me a deal. I'll blog about you and be your bf. And you'll potentially be saving little baby silkie lives. Lol .. making the world a better place, by that alone. :gig

    Incubator for Shipped Eggs

    So I'm looking for another incubator that can do a couple dozen or more at one time. My budget is around $150. And these will all be shipped eggs. So I can pretty much bank on detached air cells. So I'm not sure what to buy. Brinsea, I would like but just can't go there $$$$$ at this time. I...

    Thank you for this post. I do have a question. Do you personally keep humidity at 40 percent during lockdown as well?
