Mine autoturner is quiet.

Good luck with your peafowl eggs. How come you did not lut them on their sides?

No I don't think so. Everyone has a different opinion on it. Best bet would be to pull one at about a week and candle it and see if airsac is developing. You should have gotten a little diagram with your Brinsea that shows where it should be at certain days.

Yep. They are Marans. I am having a hard time seeing anything.

Mine doesn't squeak but does make a clicking noise. You might try putting a little WD40 on it!

Mine creaks too. I thought it was the sound of eggs slamming into the rails but I have padding around all eggs so thats when I realized it was the cradle. Glad its not just mine. My humidity is around 34%. I am trying to keep it above 20% and below 40% so I only add a couple tablespoons of water.

Thats what mine is....Its a clicking noise at sharp turn angles. This whole time I thought it was my eggs!!!! And its not.

I'm glad to hear mine isn't the only one that does that! I loosened the screws that connect the metal rods to each end and I haven't heard it lately. So try loosening your screws they may be too tight.

I put them upright so I can fit more eggs in there!

Hmmm. I never really tightened mine because I didn't have enough elbow greese. Was ganna have my husband do it and plum forgot. They are tight enough to hold it together.

Nope.
