No, When the incubator would lean at its sharpest angle, The eggs would slam into the black metal rails even though I had them snug. Because some eggs are smaller. Once I butted the paper towels ont he ends it stopped. You know whats great about my brinsea? There is no work!!!! I dont have to babysit it. I have to step out for the evening and I dont have to worry about it. I also dont have the constant urge to candle the eggs either but I am certain they are okay!!!

Freedom!

Well....Its 9:00pm here....Has everyone got their eggs set?

 

[cackydoodledoo]

It is 9pm here now and mine were set at about 5:15!!! Woohoo here we go!

I still plan on setting mine on Sunday!! I am firing up the bator tomorrow sometime. Good luck to you guys. Lets cross our fingers for a good hatch in our new Brinsea's.

 

[cackydoodledoo]

Yes crossing my fingers and toes. And pulling my hair out and stressing!!! I don't know about you guys but I think I am gonna call my doctor on Monday and see if she can give me some Paxil or Prozac or something to calm my nerves!!! I already had to call daisychick. Got the eggs set and put the lid on and the humidity went up to 45%! It's back down to normal now but for some reason every sound that machine makes is stressing me out!! I don't remember it making that much noise with no eggs in it????? I'm a dork I know!

Wish I had someone to call!!! The other friend who raises chickens is in the hospital with her new twins! There is a stink bug on my Brinsea!!! Mine was making noise till I fixed the egg situation. I had to remove the lid for a second today to add water. It had dropped to 25% so I added a couple tablespoons and now its at 35!

 

[cackydoodledoo]

Well I would say you could call me but I don't think I would be much help!



Also here is what I have in there to hatch:

15 straight EE's
4 EE/Maran cross

Really crossing my fingers for the Maran/EE's!!!
