    old hatchrite incubator

    No, not really. Use a 1/4 Inch nutdriver if you need to take the case apart to get it through a doorway. The case screws are all the same size, so don't worry about mixing them up. If you need to adjust the rollers: The rollers are held in by hex nuts - use an appropriate nutdriver (I...

    old hatchrite incubator

    Opals21, It depends on the roller gap - the space between the blue rubber rollers. On mine, I can get about 150 eggs on one shelf. Caveat: The shelves were originally designed for Ostrich and Emu eggs so the gap was set quite wide at the factory - probably 2-3 inches. With chicken eggs...

    If anyone needs documentation/users manual for a Hatchrite Incubator, you can find it here: http://idk.serveftp.net/hatchrite/manual/ While this information covers an CP-50, it is likely useful for other models. Best regards, Kevin G. McCoy

    old hatchrite incubator

    Kekko, Yes, I found the same two guys and the one from Sunny Creek Farms gave me the same bad vibes you got. He wanted money up front, would not send any sample manual pages prior to the sale and failed to answer *any* of my pre-sales questions. I won't be doing business with him. The guy in...

    Quote: I made my own Hatchrite humidifier out of a kids room vaporizer. I drilled a hole in the top of the humidifier were the steam used to shoot out, and stuffed some hose from an old rug shampooer into the hole. This ducts the water vapor out of the humidifier into the normal Hatchrite...

    old hatchrite incubator

    Quote: Have you had any luck with the Hatchrite? I bought an Hatchrite MP-83 a couple months ago and have been refurbishing it myself. (I am a techie). I have it working pretty well and am incubating a bunch of Muscovy duck eggs in it now. I replaced the missing computer on mine. The guy I...

    Dogs killed chickens, ready to give up. *Another chicken killed.*

    Quote: That is the route I took after raccoons killed 3/4 of my goose flock in one night. A few weeks later, a fox finished off the rest, in broad daylight! I had a 5-wire electric fence installed (3 hot-wires covering the first 18" or so above the ground, and 2 hot wires up near the top (5...
