I have the LG still air and hand turn my eggs three times a day. This works wonderfully for me. I set my bator up on pieces of 2x4's (4 of them, one for each side) in a way that it doesn't block the holes in the bottom of the bator, and keep the red plugs open during the whole time, except if I need to increase humidity on day 18, then I close one plug. I get plenty of air flow that way. I also fill jars with water about the size of baby food jars, covers on, and set them around the inside perimeter of the bator for a couple days before I set the eggs, to stabilize the internal temp of the bator...better thermal mass (about 5 to 6 jars). The jars stay in there during the whole time. I maintain the temp around 101.5 and 102.5. I do have to adjust once in a while. I fill the water wells in the bottom, and if the humidity needs to be increased, add 2 small pieces of wet sponge (42% to 55% humidity). Then I take the top of egg cartons (the ones that are not solid, and have holes in them), cut them down a bit around the sides, and put my eggs in them tipped to one side, and turn them back and forth approx. 8:00am, 2:00pm, 9:00pm, every day till day 18. On day 18, I make sure the water wells are full, add a sponge, and fruit cup sized containers of water to get my humidity up to 65 -70 percent, take the eggs out of the carton and lay them on the screen, and wait. Day 21 they hatch. Don't give up on your LG!!
