    Incubator calibration question

    Hi, all. I have a question regarding my Sailnovo 20 egg incubator (link below). I should honestly have read the reviews on it before I purchased it as this seems to be a common issue with this incubator but it doesn’t seem to want to get to the temperature I set it to. It reads that it has...

    New here, hello! First time incubating, duck eggs in a Little Giant -- tips (humidity, temp?) :)

    Hello folks!! :) I raised chickens and (LOTS of) ducks growing up, and totally fell in love with keeping ducks. I had my own mini flock of khaki campbells about 10 years ago, but have had to step away from it since. I finally live somewhere where I can have backyard poultry again, and I'm SO...

I've had it on for about 5 days now, and the biggest difference I've seen is about 1.5° F in opposite corners...

    Incubator help!?

    I am working with a Little Giant still air incubator. Usually, per the directions, I’ve set the humidity to 50-55% for days 1-18. Only getting about 50% hatch rates. So further research showed me I may have the humidity too high and to try 30-40%. I’ve never used the things (sorry can’t remember...

    On my chicks first ever night the heat lamp died:(

    I was silly and decided to test out if my chickens eggs were fertile. We have a rooster but they’re all still young and the hens just started laying so I wasn’t sure they would be. I put 5 eggs into the incubator, 2 at the same time, 3 spread out over 5 days. Of course they all developed and...
