Oh man, I only paid $40 for it. And it has a few other hiccups, I think it's upset that little mama hatched the chicks this year guess I need to see how much it going to cost
I have an oldie but goodie incubator. It's a lyon, model rx, with a marsh incubator automatic turner. Included pics.
This thing has hatched many a chick for me, keeps very even temps, nice humidity levels, blah blah blah.
Now I am going to hatch some eggs for a friend, so she can have them...

I need incubator advice! And my 6 australop eggs look good, 1 hatched, 4 pipped so far. The hatched one pipped at wrong end, and with no help from me hatched!
So now for the advice, my dozen polish go on lock down Easter Sunday, the dozen Marans and Ameraucana go on lock down Tuesday. Is Monday...
Got a question, my dozen polish go on lock down Easter Sunday, the dozen Marans and Ameraucana go on lock down Tuesday. Is Monday an ok comprise, or would it be better to lock down all 3 dozen on Sunday? Or break lockdown on the polish to lockdown Marans and Ameraucanas?
