for those who do not use an automatic turner...how do you turn them other than by hand..i hate to buy another turner, i was thinking of the egg carton thing, but i would just like to hear what everybody else does....
okay i have 15 eggs in my good bator, turner, fan...but i have a quaestion i am going to recieve several eggs in next 3-4 days so i have got to buy another...and was wanting to save money...i found another LG at tsc today and also turner but no fan kit..so what do you all think about still...
my shipped eggs arrived today,or should i say the first bunch did..i bought off ebay 6 frizzle eggs and 9 marked bcp but i am not sure what that stands for . i also bouht 12 barred rock eggs off ebay but i wont get them until next tues...so how should i do this i have only one bator...i am...
my first experience with hatching in bator i lost all 35 eggs DH did not tell me temp was 110 for 2 days in the beginning so me and my little boy waited 26 days for nothing...second experience 42 eggs 25 babies...i think i know what happened, but still the same very tickled with 25...now i have...
okay amazingly i have got chicks...7 are dried, fluffy and eating and drinking...my questions is the others... thay are not drying and fluffing up..my lg is going nuts with the temp. since they started hatching yesterday...and i don't know what to do...it has been since this morning for 5 of them..
okay when does the eggs start to peep..if they are suppose to pip on 21st day(hopefully) when can i expect them to peep...based on your all experience...i am just getting so excited...saturday will be 21 days...
okay it is day 18..i took automatic turner out, placed 4 small wet sponges in incubator and closed the top....i also candled the 42 eggs, 5 were infertile...saw some movement...(not in all of them) only good air pockets and large dark areas, most of my eggs are dark brown...so i think i have...
okay i know this is silly and it takes 21 days...guess i am just getting nervous,but i put my eggs in on may 17 in the afternoon...so when exactly so i count 21 days
i put 48 eggs in on sunday...i have checked them several times since then and they are in the same position.. i am at work all day and when i got home and this morning no change in position..if they are not turned this afternoon i will go buy a new turner...but will my eggs be ruined....
okay i bought a digital temp/humidity monitor, the sensor goes in the incubator while to monitor goes outside of the incubator. i also have 2 of the just plain old thermometers in the incubator..they both read 99.5 however the digital reads 94.5 ans humidity is reading 47-48 which should i trust....
okay this was our first time incubating eggs, we have the square styrofoam with the turner and fan in it. last night which would have been day 25 we checked the eggs...there was nothing in any of them except thick yellow liquid...what did we do wrong...
