We usually wash the incubator out with vinegar. But the last two times we washed with bleach everything let it set for a day in bleach. It was so bad. It had blood of unhatched eggs. I will through out on 20 th I just monitoring that incubator right now . The ones that need to be transferred will not be tell 21.i have some time to adjust pray and make peace and ceremony because life was lost. They will have a proper burial to or beliefs. We also baptize each incubator every time we put eggs in.so they don't die or be in vain. I try to teach my son correctly as I can and still uphold or beliefs to God. Sorry we do most things old school.tracy in charge.then me and then my children and pets. The reason for selling eggs in gods eyes is money. Eating the eggs is beginning of life.we can't control life and death. We can eat the chicken or sell chicken for home expenses .

Thank you for sharing. I respect how your beliefs honor life. I believe you'll get the incubator working well and then get much better hatches with fresher eggs. Keep us posted.

Were these shipped eggs?   Good that you caught those!  

Yep. All three of the oozers were shipped. I'm hoping it's not a problem in the incubator that will spread to other eggs. Should I change the liners?

Tracy said maybe 100 chicken in one year would be good for the 3!of us. We would also like to be able to figure out how to give some to a needy family in years to come. The way it looks these holiday season it would not be possible tell we fix all issues. Tracy said we can't afford both air conditions on 60 that's why there set the way they our.its already to high 500.00 a month.

So day 5, I decided to candle an egg that was questionable to set in the first place. When marking air cells prior to set, this ones air cell was just a bunch of little air bubbles that moved along the shell as I moved it. I decided to set it, figuring I would end up chucking it. Today I checked it. The air cell still is a bunch of little bubbles, but it is developing. It'll probably never make lock down, but it's cool that it has developed.

These eggs are a backyard mix out of my own chickens. The chickens are older (2 1/2) won't be with us much longer. Any ideas what would cause that?

We tryed putting the aquarium tubing in. The pro series incubator had to much of a gap on the side. I couldn't figure out how the water flowed in the other incubator there was so many water wells. It looked like a jungle gym waiting for a chick to get hurt. We took it out.
