    Incuview Incubator

    My picture doesn't want to upload but I will continue trying I've had it out of the packaging so the sleeve that the probe goes into is here. I just kept it off because I figured it would work better in this type of situation without the hard sleeve. This one

    Incuview Incubator

    @Punkybrewster i have bantam eggs incubating upright in the Incuview using a cut up egg carton with side cut down low and the bottom cut out, for airflow. You can see that there is a lot of room still, so LF eggs should fit upright just fine. I hand turn 3 to 5 times (actually I just gently lean...

    @aart i finally received my thermoworks super fast pocket thermometer (the delay was my fault). How do you use it? Do you compare it to any other digital thermometer to check for accuracy? Do you use the Thermoworks thermometer in the incubator and turn it on several times a day to check Temps...

    Incuview Incubator

    Very true. I have used & like all of the incubators that I own (except for the LG that I was gifted from a retired backyard farmer that I won't use) but I feel like I've learned more and worked with the Incuview more, in this very short amount of time, than any of the others. I still haven't...

    Incuview Incubator

    Even after experiencing problems with setting up/stabilizing the Incuview in the beginning, I'd still recommend it. I chalk it up to the most important incubating basics "Get familiar with your incubator and everything it does".The more I use it, the more I like it. In my personal opinion, a...

    Edited to add that this reply was from last night but didn't post for some reason. To update, my silkie did accept the Dutch that hatched in the incubator, last night! I loved reading your reply! That is so heartwarming and inspiring. Thank you for sharing that with me. In my many shipments of...

    Incuview Incubator

    Yes I definitely agree about it being a shipped egg issue. In spite of each seller packaging the eggs well, they just don't tolerate shipping well. I'm in central NC and have received eggs from Texas, Florida, MO, Louisiana, and Ohio. The end result is horrible for probable good eggs that would...

    Incuview Incubator

    Yes they are detached. 1 of them looks better than the others with it just being saddled. There was a broken egg, so I imagine they were jostled around a lot. I've had so much trouble with shipped eggs and my hatch rates have been horrible, but I strongly feel like it's an issue of being...

    Incuview Incubator

    I ended up moving the incubator to an unused bedroom/nursery and placed the incubator on top of a solid wooden changing table, against a wall but NOT in a corner like I had before. I purchased 2 more thermometers (needed something until I recieve the thermoworks thermometer). I contacted IW and...

    Incuview Incubator

    The temp at the bottom where my thermometer is, is steady at 101°. I worry that the temp at the top of the eggs will be too high for proper development. I'd hate to risk an egg. I'm hoping to get Temps where they are supposed to be without having to do any more effort than the normal stuff. If...

    Incuview Incubator

    I was hoping to use this incubator for some eggs that were delivered yesterday and some being delivered tomorrow, but I don't feel like that'd be a good idea now. So this gives me an excuse to buy more eggs, right? Hahaha! I will contact IW. I'm confident that we can get to the bottom of the...

    Incuview Incubator

    I turned it 4 ways (on the same table) and it wobbled from the same corner every way. I guess it's possible that every side of this table is warped but it's highly unlikely, especially since it doesn't change the wobble. Only the one side does it no matter what

    Incuview Incubator

    The theory of adding water to the too warm Incuview in hopes of it coming back down to normal temp did not work. I snapped a picture this morning. I promise there is no condensation built up on the lid. I'm not sure why the picture came out like this. I do see tiny bubbles in the lid that are...

    Incuview Incubator

    This is what I'm hoping. I'm going to add water now and see how it does overnight. I wasn't able to move the incubator today as I planned because they other place just isn't ideal, at all. I got the foam cut out to cover the tray table I have the incubator set on, but then I worried about adding...

    Thank you so much for taking the time to help me figure this out. I really appreciate it @hayscountyfarm @Molpet @Ms Biddy @aart

    Incuview Incubator

    Maybe I should just move the incubator to another location because it is running too warm now, according to my acurite thermometer/hygrometer it's running consistently at 100-101. This same thermometer reads 99 in a Brinsea and NR360, so I feel like it's accurate. It's not located near a vent...

    I tried the 65-70 range and the 70-80, both having the same temp inside the incubator. That was my first trouble shooting experiment
