Hatch total: 63 chicks Assisted 12, but then culled 6 b/c of leg/toe issues & one crooked beak - :( Left with 57 good ones, 4 of which still look rough due to not fully fluffing out. And to review- set 100 eggs, went into lockdown with 76 eggs. The good news is ... 8 went to their new home...

If the motor stopped working, then if needs to be replaced - egg turner motors easy to get on eBay & Amazon. But, check to see if the little arm is still in the "track". Mine would pop out when I double stacked it, but with a rubber band it's fine now.

The reason for the rubber band is b/c of the added weight & without it, the little arm pops out & won't turn. But the turner motor seems to be fine as long as there's a rubber band is there. I know that spot next to the turner motor gets hotter, but mine usually still develop. This time I'll...

Haha! Believe it or not, it's just a hobby, as even though I do sell eggs, chicks, pullets, etc - it just pays for the feed. :) It's not yet a livelihood.

Here's the eggs set in the new "cabinet cooler bator" : Yes, I know that bottom turner is empty, but need better air circulation before putting any eggs down there. And the rest are double-stacked in the Genesis 1588 egg turner - top layer newest eggs & bottom layer of eggs due to hatch on the...

Well, due to some issues with the new "cabinet cooler bater" , regulating the temp & trying to make a turner, I didn't set eggs at I'd planned on Saturday. I ended up just getting 3 auto egg turners at TSC & cutting off one row, so they'd fit inside the incubator. Then, found another fan, to...

I was going to just get the one from TSC but measured the one in the Genesis 1588 & it's just a little too big. :( Searched for the Rcom egg turner & only found the complete incubators.

Building another incubator, and if I can get it up & running, I'll be joining the Easter Hatch-A-Long. I'm using @Sally Sunshine's design for the cabinet cooler bator. But going to attempt making an auto turner - found some ideas on YouTube; no instructions, foreign language, but it's worth a try!
