    Borotto Incubators (All about)

    I might try the pump again someday with less expensive backyard eggs and update this thread. If I was dealing with multiple incubators I’d possibly be more motivated to tinker with it. If I remember correctly, problems arose when I was trying to raise the humidity, and I was hatching in...

    I just hatched out chicks (chicken) the other day with the Real 24--This time I had 79 percent hatch rate from shipped eggs which I am quite happy with. Last time I got 19:20 of the eggs I set to hatch; unfortunately I lost one egg during lockdown, but it was an almost perfect hatch--they were...

    Day 21 and eighteen out of the twenty eggs I put in have hatched. I thought my thermometer was calibrated and accurate, but these started hatching day 19 and were mostly done by day 20.

At any rate, thus far, things are much less stressful and seem to be going fine without the pump. I candled some eggs last night (day 6) and most have veining. I'm keeping the tray 1 full of...

    no, I haven't. I might leave a review after I see how my second hatch goes.

    I did NOT have good luck with the humidity pump on my first hatch of quail eggs. It flooded the tray at least twice, and I had to go in and drain out the water. Other times it kept running and running and putting more water in and I had to shut the pump down before it flooded. Maybe it was user...
