My First Attempt to Hatch eggs
HovaBator Still/Thermal Air Egg Incubator 1602N
7 Lavender Orphington eggs (purchased via E-Bay) (The auction was for 6 ...they sent 8...one was broken)
After reading many posts in various forums I realized I was not nearly as prepared as I initially thought...The incubator is new but I have had it for 2 years and it had accumulated dust.
Had I known the importance of a fan I would have bought one but it was too late...
I ordered WIGGLE WORM...I slid it over the sensor and had to use two runner bands to keep it from slipping out.
I read and read and still do not know how much water (if any) should be in the incubator when I start. I am going to fill the inner middle tray.
I marked the eggs with a pencil for turning purposes.
I did not open the box of eggs until last night...they were wrapped in bubble wrap..I hope I didn't mess up this early in the game!
I just put the water in the tray...temp dropped to 99.1
7 minutes to start time....
