Hi if you unplug the unit and hold down the set and down button while plugging it back in it will reset to factory defaults

LOL, I wish I could!! We are building a bigger coop - it should be ready by the time these chicks grow up, but silly question....how many chickens do we really need?

That looks like it will be awesome!

Thank You for your kind reply. I have 2 incu therms and both read differently. They are not calibrate-able. If it is a remote sensor type try cleaning the sensor with warm water.

So I had my bator sitting on my dresser since the 9th. I had my eggs inside it just so they didn't accidentally get eaten. The first day I put too much water in so I dumped it out through the little holes in the bottom and set it back on my dresser and put the egg rack back in. Today I went to pull the eggs out and to turn the bator on. Now I see this discoloration where I dumped the water out 2 days ago. I've thoroughly bleached the bator but I need to know if the eggs that were sitting inside are ruined?

It looks fine!

They get a lot more stained over time. Bleaching takes care of the bacteria so you should be fine.

Make sure the holes at the bottom are open--and not blocked by stuff on the dresser.

Happy hatching!

Careful!!! Chicken math always says you need 'a few' more
