    my friend got a refurbished one at 1/2 price.. maybe keep an eye out for that? I know I am. I want to have a second one set up as a hatcher for when my Peas start laying eggs next year!

    I'm really liking the humidikit! it makes things much easier and I just have to refill the bottle a couple times a week. when I do open the lid to candle or remove chicks it goes back up quickly. (within a min) I was told that the humidikit acts like a oxygen concentrator does, it pumps in...

    17 fluffy chicks are out & dried off! Out of the 27 I started with 2 were not fertile, 1 hatched & didn't make it, 2 pipped but no zip & died in shell. They were coming out at the wrong end and just didn't seem to fight it out. There are 5 left that appear 1/2 developed. Overall I'm happy with...

    I moved the egg Crashers to the temp brooder :) there's 5 so far. A few pipped but didn't zip :( I wonder if they got knocked around too much. But I'm happy so far and there's movement in a couple others yet. :)

    So 5 have hatched so far. One didn't make it :( Wondering if I should remove them quick when they are dried & put them under the lamp? They are crashing around the other eggs in there. About the dead one.... He was out, up & moving but he had some yolky gunk and a lil bit of blood last night out...

    How many incubators do you have going? Lol. I'm thinking about getting a second one for Peafowl eggs.

    ok. thank you :) yes my incuview rolls them on their sides 6x a day. I'll have to see what I can figure out for putting them on an angle in the future. I will keep it dark :)

    So I have 2 pips this morning but they aren't at the right end of the shell. Will they still hatch? Is there something I did wrong?

    oh no :( Hopefully someone has ideas. this is my first time so I'm open to learning. I keep being told to never help a chick out of the shell but that seems cruel if they are trying and just tuckered out.

    I candled at day 10 but I'm not confidant enough to remove eggs. going to check again this saturday when I take out the turners. Does anyone else have a hard time seeing in the blue eggs? they seem to be a lot thicker than even the brown eggs.

    its at 44% humidity. the digital gauge on top the incy was hard to get it to show up right in the pic without the glare off the window so its the angle of my camera barnyard mix chickens.

    Posting information for my first hatch using the Incuview w/humidikit. A couple small issues to start with but the folks at incubator warehouse were very helpful to get it fixed up. Everything is now working great and eggs are in ready to go. I'll post more info & updates here as we go. Any...
