Yes, they were way cheaply made. My hubby said it wasn't the motor, the motor was good on ours, it was the cheap turners, they couldn't hold the weight of all of our eggs. They caught stuck, and they were floppy when you touched them, wouldn't stay put. You could move the trays back and...
They are cute...hey, I think we got the same bator, serious. Is it yellow? Temps and humidity given in Celsius?
My turner went out too..it had two sides..the right side went out first. I didn't know it for a while either. Don't throw your eggs out! I went and bought another turner for...
Have to ask, is it a hole, like an open hole, or is it a flattened little area in the end. I found that if they are laying on a hardened surface, like they used to before I put carpet in, then if the egg was pushed out pretty fast, they would get flattened. I used to think just having the...
I separated them because the silkies were a lot older, didn't want them squishing the new little ones, they are all together now.

Well, hatch is over...26 babies!
Now, hope I can sell some. They are sooo cute..love the EE's and OE's. Yep.
Sally, you are so sweet. Thank you for that compliment. I've loved you since I first read your first post. Which...
22! Yes ron, a lot of them. lol..didn't know that she was sending so many. I had 34 shipped, 29 made it to lock down. There are still a few trying, my goodness, not a bad hatch at all.
I have 10 babies now, three more working on it..and more zips.
Here are some photos of a baby that was trying to zip..way at the top. This is what happens when you get really small air sacs. Very lucky that this one turned and pipped, then tried to zip, but it would have seriously been a zip...
Sally, why yes, yes I do stay up for my babies to hatch. Well, sort of. I have the bator in a guest bedroom, so, there is a bed that is nice and comfy...when I hear a frantic, oh my goodness I just hatched scream, I get up and take my babies out and put them into the brooder. I have 7 babies...
6 pips, and the one that was first to pip hasn't done much more. There is a new one that has done more than the first. Have a feeling I will be up most of the night. Can't wait to see if I get different colors.
chicapee, sounds like you may be in for a busy night too.
