Just search it on Amazon. I'm on my third hatch and have been having a blast with the kids waiting every time. Just had one of 7 hatch this morning.. Wife just called me. Go figure.. I'm at work! Grrrr :)

Our final was in fact 6/7. We couldn't be more happy because I was expecting 4-5, with 5 being a GREAT hatch. Number 7 never pipped. I didn't candle the eggs so it's possible there was never a chick inside and it had nothing to do with me.(which is my main worry) I took a video of us opening...

Soooo, yesterday when I got home(or actually while i was at work)...My wife and kids called before I left work...2 were out and running around. By the end of last night 6 out of the 7 were out and running around. So, only 1 didn't hatch. I left them in there because technically today was the...

Awesome! Thanks so much! Can't wait to get home today! I have a 2 hour commute so I can't even rush it...:)

Hello, Sooooo...This is my families first hatch ever. I've gleamed so much from all of you even if you haven't seen me post often. Thank you for that! This is truly a great forum and the amount of knowledge which is shared here is amazing! Last night I started my lock down. The counter said...

What if a chick pecks an egg? or hurts an egg that didn't pip yet? Or, I guess it's safe to say if the chick can hurt another egg at that point then it's probably not going to hatch or not going to make it anyway...right? So, leave them in there for 2 days without food and water? Is that a safe...

So this will be my first hatch...18 days to go...I have been reading and reading and reading and I think I just confused myself by reading even too much... So, the question is - I read more than once that you should not open the bator to help. I understand. I also read that they should stay in...

It will stop turning if set to AUTO and turn off cooling if you have it on... :)

I thought it should be set at 99.5....Should I set mine higher right before night sets in so it holds the higher temp longer?

I wish I didn't have to do that but if it works I will because I don't want to keep the heat on 24/7 in the house. So a drop in temp at night isn't going to cause problems? I can't seem to find the real answer anywhere... What if it got to 97 and then it was back to 98 when I looked at 6:30am?

My mini advance just came yesterday. Very easy to setup and get going. Adding my eggs tonight! Can't wait! If you are hatching quail you will also need the extra disk that holds the smaller eggs. It doesn't come with the mini advance...It's extra! Let me know how it works for you!

what if it stayed at 98 for 10 hours a day though? the weather is getting warmer here in NJ but I don't want to chance anything. Thanks! Mike

Hello! After having chickens for almost 2 years now and gaining so much info from this site we are going to hatch our own this time! I bought th brinsea advance mini. It came yesterday and I'm getting my eggs tonight...I read a ton and set it all up.It was at a stable 99.5 last night for 3-4...

I have heard and read the same. 15 hours a day is what they need to keep the cycle going. I installed a light last weekend and will be hooking it up to a timer tonight. I'm going to let it stay on from about 5:30pm-9pm. Some people do it in the morning but i think extending the day is better at...

I had this issue. Block the nesting boxes at night for a week or two. Put a golf ball or two in each so they see them during the day. When it gets cold, they will learn!(If it gets cold there)

It sounds cool but I wouldn't do it. Honestly, anything clear like glass is going to end up covered in dust sooner or later and won't be worth cleaning off all of the time. Also, as others have said, your nesting boxes should be dark and it sounds like this is going to cause more light in what...

I don't live in Florida but i know how hot it gets. I think you are perfectly fine with what you are doing. They will be in that run most of the day and if it's SUPER hot they will go inside for shade.(or to lay eggs) Some people add a fan but I think you will be ok with what you are doing as...

Hi, I went through this and was worried as well. I actually didn't separate them but added 1 chicken whom stayed perched most of the day because the other two bothered her ALL day if not. When the other two went to lay or off to the side, she would jump down and eat and drink then hop back up...

Did you put it in the run or in the coop or both? How much and how often do you add it? Thanks!

Can someone explain how they used it? Did you put it in the run or in the coop or both? How much and how often do you add it??? Thanks!
