So I’m sure this has been discussed but just wondering how everyone cleans their incubator after a hatch? The last two times I have taken the base and sprayed out and bits of shell that fell through without getting water in the turner port. Then wipe it down with disinfectant wipes then...

Well today is day 22. 12 of the 13 hatched. Looks like the last one was a very late quitter. Candled last night and everything looks developed as normal but no movement. Kinda sucks but thats how it goes. Anyway. Since everyone loves little fluff butts here are a couple pics

Update. We have 10 happy little fluffy chicks. Still waiting on 3 more. 2 have good sized pips and can see them moving around inside and one has done nothing yet. But still got some time for that one. So far pretty happy

So kinda worried a bit about the membrane on this one. It pipped early this morning but hasn’t done much since. The others hatching have knocked the little bits of shell off now I’m worried the membrane might be drying out too much. Humidity has been between 70-80 with them all hatching

It broke free on its own all is well. Up to 5 now

Hard to see but the membrane is still attached to the navel. Will this dry and break off? Yolk is fully absorbed and the chick seems to be doing fine for just hatching

And we have our first chick!

Morning has come. 8 pips. No chicks......yet

Up to 5 pipped now. Sorry for flooding the thread but everyone else is asleep here and it’s too exciting not to share

That’s what I’m doing too but with the way the room our bator is set up that extra little light would come in handy. I might have to tinker and see what I can come up with

That’s what I’m thinking too. Good thing I’m off work for the week going to be checking them all night long 😂 if I could change just one thing on this incubator would be to put a light on the underside of the top. Doesn’t have to be super bright like the candling light but just enough to be...

Number 2 has pipped! Still no progress on the first one yet

So excited! According to the countdown we have 2 days to go. But we have one pipped! Let the hatching begin!!

Lockdown has officially begun!!! Turner off humidity up. Bring on the chicks!!

I’m sure someone else with more experience can give better advice but I don’t. I start with the outer ring and just go one egg at a time putting it back in the same spot. Then do the same for the inner ring. But I’m more worried about being as gentle as possible that I’m not focusing on...

Well I just pulled the egg turner and put down the shelf liner. Lockdown officially starts tomorrow but I had to candle 1 just to be sure it quit so figured while I was in there. Also won another NR 360 on Facebook so today is looking to be a good day

That is so true. Got an incubator to hatch 6. 5 of the 6 hatched. Got 13 more in wife bought 6 jersey giants daughter bought 3 polish and now in a couple weeks my wife is getting a dozen eggs from someone on Facebook to hatch.

Candled the last time before lockdown last night. Lost another. Started with 15 had one quit right away and the second quit right about a week ago when I candled last. Still pretty happy. Now if I could get the humidity to settle down I’d be happy. The last week it’s been bouncing from 45...

I’m having the same thing. We’ve been getting rain off and on since Tuesday night so the humidity in the incubator is hovering between 57-60 for the past 24 hours. Have the vent wide open. Saw the open B port on here but didn’t even think of that. Going to do that now.

Yesterday was day 9.5 of my next batch of barnyard mix. Started with 15. Had 1 early quitter. The other 14 are all doing good and showing lots of movement. Should start seeing signs of hatching by the end of next week. So exciting
