Oh and I've had several side pippers hatch. Even some backwards and upside down. What we don't realize is that the aircell does grow a lot more from the last time we candle them at like day 16 or 17. So it very well could still be in the aircell. Also if there's no blood even if it's not in the...
How is your babies? Anybody out yet? Sorry about the one that died! Maybe slightly higher humidity would help? I usually keep mine up to 75% sometimes when they are all wet and hatching it can rise up to 80% and above. But that always works for me. I know it does depend on your area and the...
Oh, that is hard, when it doubt lock down and stop turning a little earlier than later. And maybe raise the humidity when you really see them rocking or hear the first peeps. Just try not to open the incubator a whole lot after they first pip internally, or break their air cell. ( When you hear...
A rule of thumb when counting the days to a hatch: One day is 24 full hours, so when you first set your eggs in the incubator, if you set them in the morning by the end of the day that day can count as the first day. If you set them in the afternoon or evening, the next day will count as the...
Also one more thing since you don't have a fan installed make sure to rotate where the eggs are sitting because the ones the closest to the lightbulb can get too hot and the ones farthest could get too cold. That's cool that you got a dozen eggs to fit in there! Why kind of eggs are you planning...
That is really cool!!! The only thing I would be concerned about is ventilation. I don't see any places where air can get in but I could be wrong. Proper ventilation is just as important as temperature and humidity, without fresh air the embryos can't breath. Even right from the front as soon as...
I had great success also with my TSC Little Giant still air Incubators. I think people give them a bad reputation because they require a little more work to get their temps stabilized than the more expensive incubators but with some patience they work really well. Just make sure you always...
