Thank you all for your advice!! I purchased two of the 3 recommended thermometers by chicken canoe, and will get a medical grade thermometer to help with calibration. I appreciate you all taking the time to help. :)
Thankfully, I have always had great hatches, every week, so the actual...
So, I purchased several thermometer/hydrometers to monitor my incubators. They are all brand new, two of them are the brand that was suggested in here. Batteries are new, and they've all been in the same incubator all day.
However, they all have different readings, and I am at a loss. The...
Does anyone have any experience with the R-com Maru 380 Deluxe Max incubator? Or any R-Com incubators for that matter?
Brinsea cabinet incubators are sold out everywhere, but I have found an R-com Maru 380 Deluxe Max. I would love to hear some reviews before purchasing though.
Update. Despite appearing underdeveloped on day 18, those eggs are hatching right alongside the eggs that appeared further along. I haven't compared them to the other chicks for size yet, only observed them through the glass in the Hatcher.
I had left some of the questionable eggs in the...
Good thought. I am not sure... if this happens again, I will be sure to take note of the location of each egg, so that I can watch for a pattern.
I have a good secondary thermometer/hydrometer on the way to make sure the temp and humidity are accurate too.
I have had this experience as well..my marans hatched a day or two after the others. I thought it was interesting, and am glad to know that others have had the same experience.
Valid point. Thanks.
I did do several test runs before beginning to use the whole incubator, and was satisfied with the results. My hatch rate has been about 97%, and I rarely lose a chick post-hatch.
I am thankful to have had a good mentor, and I did my own research. No need to fear, I don't...
I am not negligent with my chickens. I have an anomaly that I have not experienced before, and thought I would see if anyone here had encountered the same thing.
I have been raising chickens my entire life, I am not a newbie at raising chickens.
Although I am fairly new at incubating eggs, I...
He doesn't hatch any. I have been using his eggs for 4 months, he has had fertility issues, but the fertile ones all seemed to hatch at day 21 and 22 in the past.
I don't have any pictures, as my candle broke, and I am using my phone to candle.
The eggs that I am concerned about are buff orpington and barred rocks.
