I I'm on day 5 but wanted to candle test just one of my eggs. It was beautiful. Great veins and a small dark spot right in the middle. I'm so happy I bought the incubator. Things are going way more smooth with it
So I still have no pip. Candles and still no internal pip but I saw it move. I put it back in but how long do I wait. I don't know what to do if anything.
They are the same thermometer and at the same level. I did switch them and see what happened. They did regulate a bit better but I'm also gonna take your advice on switching the eggs from one side to the other when I turn them. Thanks!!!
And if all else fails I can just rotate the top.
So today my eggs are on day 23. I was certain they were goners. I candled my first egg and it was moving. I actually saw the chick moving!!!! I'm so beyond excited :celebrate there is no internal pips but I have heard of people getting at day 25 or even later. Oh I really hope I get a fluffy butt
Ok so I puty eggs in my new hovabator this morning. I have 2 thermostats in there. The on on the right says 99 the one on the left says 102 they were calibrated before I started this. I don't have the money for a fan right now any other ideas :(

Thanks. That's my big girl. The first baby I ever got. She hates me lol and runs as soon as I get close but I still love her. She is a good girl

Well this was my first time weighing but I knew I wanted them to lose about 13% so I wanted to make sure they were on the right track so I could adjust the humidity accordingly.
So are you saying I should keep them at 50% the whole time. They started at 20-30% than went to 70-80 for lockdown. I am doing a dry hatch with the new ones also. I haven't put any water in and it's at 25-27%
Well I started with 14 shipped eggs. 5 were clears and only 4 made it to lockdown. I kept the humidity low till lockdown then i put it to 60-70% I candles and weighed on day 1,7,10,14,18 the weight was great except for one that almost exploded. It was gross. I did cull one of the 4 because i...
I'm setting 24 Easter eggers tomorrow morning. I have 4 on day 22 but still have nothing. This will be my 3rd time and this time around I bought a bator. I feel more confident not using my homemade hunk of junk lol. I'm gonna be doing a dry hatch since without water in my bator the humidity is...
