➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

I can't wait.

Watch out! I might be that crazy bird lady, showing up to say hi to new neighbors and handing their small children pocket sized fake chickens when their parents aren't watching.

@SavKel&RynKel Uses this one I believe.
S/R would you buy it again?

We borrowed ours actually, but in a short answer yes.
In a much longer answer... The janoel 12 (which is 12 tiny eggs, 9 chicken eggs) is a solid functioning auto rotating incubator. For the first 17 or 18 days I would say you couldn't get a better one for the price (though I thought they were closer to $50). When lockdown occurs i have a few small issues: 1. The material is translucent. Everyone likes watching chickens hatch, and when the humidity cranks up you pretty much have to use your imagination, cause all you can see is a shadow. 2. The system tightly surrounds the auto rotation machine, so after 6 have hatched, you have almost no way of knowing about the last three. And 3. The cleaning up afterward. The bottom is easily soaked in bleach, but a thorough cleaning of the top end is quite difficult. Now I have no other systems to compare with yet, so that third complaint might not hold forever.

Awesome, thank you!

It's Kiki's fault! I was just looking but I joined an auction for Japanese bantam and serama eggs. Starting bid was $5 and no one else has bid yet! I wasn't going to do it, but I heard a sweet southern voice in my ear and I couldn't resist.
I don't even own an incubator! I'm eyeballing one from Amazon so I can get it by Sunday.

Do it do it do it do it do it

We've been looking at the same one so thank you! Aren't you supposed to take out the turner though once lockdown starts? Or am I reading this wrong?

LG still air STYROFOAM.
#1 I can watch hatching eggs perfectly fine with no humidity on windows issues.
#2 I have no idea what Ry's number 2 means.
#3 Clean up doesn't exist...because you can use a dish to hatch in because there is so much room.
#4 Mine can hold a million eggs.
Any size.

Too late! I like the price on the LG but I needed a incubator that would fit in the counter in my bathroom.

This will fit over the sink just fine!

I am not a sales person...shoot.
I really do like this incubator though...I don't have any complaints.
