My first time hatching has been a success! I suspect I had a bit of beginner’s luck. I had 8 eggs shipped to me and 7 of them hatched. Even one with a saddle air cell. Two of the chicks pipped in the wrong end of the egg and both hatched without a problem. I had 13 eggs in the incubator at...

The chick was on the opposite side of the shell from this spot and I did see it moving.

This is not the best picture, but I candled my eggs tonight and found this dark spot in one. Does anyone know what that is?

Thank you!

I set up my new IncuView incubator yesterday and I have some questions about temperature. The temperature is set at 99.5 and I have two small thermometers inside that I have been moving around to check the temperature in different spots. It varies quite a bit, depending on where I place the...

Another question from a newbie... What do you use to clean your incubators?

Here is my first newbie question... what do you use to mark your eggs with?

I am completely new to hatching. My kids gave me an incubator for Christmas so this seems like the perfect reason to use it. Count me in!
