It’s plexiglass. Ugh I’m just at a loss. I have read that they have problems with heat fluctuations too. I didn’t notice too much. I had a second thermometer and hydrometer in it too. The the humidity levels were a little off between the two.
Anyone had a problem with the window in their Farm innovators Pro incubator 4250 cracking?!? I just list a WHOLE clutch of duck eggs. I wasn’t sure why. Now that I’m looking over it after washing it I am thinking this could definitely be the reason. Wondering if anyone has advice on fixing it?
Update! I ended up assisting all of the ones left. To my relief (mixed feelings lol) the majority of them were dead early on or not fertile. There are a few that, had I assisted on day 23-25, we might have saved them. Live and learn & try harder next time 💜
This has very valuable info on assisting with the hatching process!

Well that’s the problem. The majority of the eggs were extremely dark except a small spot on the bottom. It legit showed me nothing in the dark part by candling and I tried candling ever which way possible. So I guess that being said I will leave them for another couple days. If nothing happens...
Candled them. There were a few clear ones that obviously weren’t fertile or died very early on. Others had a very small spot on the bottom that was able to candle and see through but nothing else was visible. Now what? Lol.
The breeder that sold me the eggs told me the shells are so thick it’s useless to candle. I have a thermometer in the bottom with the eggs and it’s reading very close to what the bator says and very consistent.
Needing advice please. We have 2 dozen chukar eggs that we are hatching. In hindsight I should have been more prepared with extra thermometers abs a hydrometer but I will do that next time. We set the eggs in an auto turner with the temp at 100 degrees and humidity around 50%. Day 20 took them...
