    Sounds like your temp may be too high if you are having chicks hatch on day 19 consistently. Get some good calibrated thermometers and check your temp. I had to lower the temp on my genesis because the digital temp display was not accurate. But yes, I would lockdown on day 18. Its not really...

    You can get the small zip ties of different colors extremely cheap on ebay. You get like 100 per pack and they are very handy to mark chickens from newborns to adult size. On the newborns you do have to make sure you put them on tight enough so they dont slip out of them and change them as...

    I will have room for them once the sportsman comes in. Just have been neglecting them and setting more important eggs in my Genesis. Just didnt want to waste my time if there was little to no chance of them hatching. I will candle at day 5 and throw them out if they arent developing. Thanks...

    Okay.. I have eggs piled up waiting to go in the incubator that have taken lower priority due to the limited capacity of my Genesis. These eggs are 4-5 weeks old. My new digital sportsman will be delivered tomorrow. So toss the old eggs or take a gamble and set them?? I have unorthadox hatch...

    That would be the case if my husband wasnt an addict too but he is chicken crazy as well. I married him for his sportsman (j/k).. we wore that old girl out. He was just fine and dandy when I informed him I placed my order to GQF for a new digital one. Some girls want pretty things and fancy...
