Hi! I will post pics tomorrow of the GE Pan-O-Bator! I am excited about how well my last hatch did. I'm happy to share this awesome incubator idea.

I just had to break the lockdown to REMOVE water!!!! My humidity was at 80% so I used two paper towels to suck up the water in the two side troughs. I tried to do everything quickly. Humidity is still at 70% so I hope it drops some as the rest of the water evaporates. I may have to take some water out of the middle but I cant decide which is worse, Opeing the lid to remove water during lockdown or leaving the humidity high?

Thats why I didnt candle. I figured I was going into lockdown no matter what and they are likely running out of room!

No changes to report this morning...same 2 are still rocking, no pips/peeps/or zips

I am Day 19 as of 9:45 last night.......

How is everyone else doing?

Hey MountainChickenMama, I locked down Sunday night too and I'm not even seeing any rocking, so you're doing better than we are! But we picked up babies at the P.O. yesterday and we've been so busy looking after them that I'm only peeking at the incubator once in a while, so maybe I'm missing the action. Hopefully we'll see something obvious soon.

I lost 2 last night when candling. I think there are more not going to hatch but couldn't bring myself to take them out. That sounds dumb, I know, it'll serve me right if they explode and ruin my whole batch. I hope not though.
I have:
7 maybes - due to no movement
4 probably nots
I started with 23

I am never going to incubate eggs again. Way too much work. I am hoping to get some roos to fertilize and hens to hatch 'em.
Who's with me on this?
