On day 7 of a very very special clutch of eggs.
The NR360 has been going okay - temp bounces a little bit but typically stays steady at 99.7.
Today it’s either 100 or 99.1. I can’t get it to stay anywhere in between.
Doesn’t help that you can only adjust the temp the incubator is set at by .5...
If you had 24 eggs and only 22 spots, which would you leave OUT, and why?
I’m starting my first batch of hatching eggs. I’m not entirely thrilled that not all are pure, but it’s a start. I want a friendly flock, good to excellent layers, rainbow of eggs & ability to sell eggs or birds when...
So I have 3 nurture right 360 incubators going right now on the same table. The 1st one I bought brand new from TSC and it works great.
The 2nd I just bought as open box “still new in the box” off of Facebook marketplace and every time I open the incubator to candle eggs when I close it again...
I'm thinking of getting a new incubator because I currently only have 1 incubator and I know the eggs will have diffrent hatch days. Some should even be 1 week apart. I heard it's not that good for the hatching chicks to push around and get their goo on the other eggs that aren't hatching.
I've...
Hello. I have a question for those who hatch a more significant amount of chicks/ducklings/goslings. What brand of incubator do you use? I am interested in purchasing an incubator that can hold 100+ eggs, I'm curious about what brand works for you guys. Second, what style of brooder do you have...
I’m deciding between having a hen hatch eggs for me this year or using an incubator. If you prefer one over the other, could you describe why? I’m doing research on the pros and cons of both so anything is helpful.
Hi! My friend lend me her Nurture right 369 incubator and the middle of the turner is rusty and won’t come out. I haven’t started putting the eggs yet as I’m worried as it won’t come out when the time is right. Anyone else has had trouble with this? What can I do to fix it?
As a newbie to the chicken world, I made the classic mistake - I set eggs in my new incubator, and then I kept adding to them, giving me a staggered hatch for my first incubation. One day after I set 21 eggs in my Nurture Right 360, I threw in a tan one because the hen was an excellent layer...
Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me. I have a Lyon Marsh Roll-X incubator with a bum thermostat. It is the single turn. The issue is that it will not change temp. It holds at 113F regardless of the direction I turn it. I have Googled for hours trying to find a replacement thermostat but...
it's around 30 days in for my first emu egg, and I just notice that the temp that was being displayed was wrong it was set to 97.5 but the real temp was around 94.4ish. It's losing the right amount of weight though; even with the real temp. Can I assume that this egg won't make it haven't seen...
So last hatch I had some problems that were related to bad or fluctuations in temps/humidity (spraddle leg in one chick, a late hatch, and shrink wrapping during hatch) so I decided that my hydrometer/Thermometer might be problematic.
I bought a govee wireless dongle version so my phone would...
Hey the last two hatches I did in my Brinsea Incubator have hatched early day 19 and 20.
I didn't think about the temperature possibly being wrong till it reached day 21 and no pips.
Found out the temperature has been sitting about 35.8 Degrees
Is there still a chance they will hatch? I'm...
needing some insight on the sportsman cabinet incubator 1502 this model is an older model from about 2006. Should the fan run all the time? (I can't remember) and when it does run it shuts off way before the desired temperature. I even turned off the heat and then 20 minutes later the fan kicked...
I have 17 eggs in the incubator. Yesterday was day 21, out of 17 eggs we put in only 2 hatched yesterday morning/afternoon. Since those 2 the other eggs have not even started pipping. Should I be worried no other eggs have started hatching? Should I leave the baby chicks in there until they do...
This duckling hatched about 10 minutes ago and seems to be doing fine except for this large attached bulb. What is this? What can I do about it? Is this normal?
After a long search, I’ve found my top favorite incubators for days 1-18, but what about the best hatcher for days 19-21? A lot of people keep their eggs in the same incubator during lockdown and hatch days, but having a separate place for lockdown and hatch is very helpful if you have multiple...
