I'm going to check it out. How many eggs can you do in it?

22 I think.

It holds 22 in the horizontal auto turner. I think I crammed 13 goose eggs for hand turning in there but I don't think you could hatch more than 10 so they enough room.

I'll either get that or another farm innovator 4250

I'm pretty sure the quail egg is dead... I think it died when the power went out. I'll leave it in until the 18th or 19th day but I don't think it will hatch.

I'm going to set two silkie eggs today or tomorrow though, so I think they should hatch around May 4th or 5th, so I'll join the may hatch along too.

I have 1 hatched, 1 unzipping, 5 pipped, and a couple eggs moving for my Easter HAL eggs!

I have 6 days left with my batch! In my NR360 . Man does time NOT fly when ur Incubating

When you say you ROTATE, do you mean hand turn them, or do you mean you actually swap out their location 2 x a day??

I move my lid 180 so that my fan and the sensor are on the opposite side. That sounds confusing haha i just pick up the lid and rotate it and out it back down. I do it in the morning and at night. My fan is not in the middle of my lid.

Sadly Day 11 was Sunday no eggs viable
Not sure if its the eggs, shipping or the incubator
We'll be trying again this weekend with a new batch & incubator.

I literally calibrated it -9° and it shot up to 102°. What the heck? I seem to have honed in by setting the room temp to 80-85 and the set temp to 96.5° and then it finally drops to 99.5° on the trusted therm. Not sure why it’s doing this with both of my incuviews but I guess as long as I can get them to 99.5° it’s fine. I “need” a third incubator and I was just about to go grab a Nurture right 360 on amazon but they are back ordered. So I guess I’ll buy another incuview.

Considering looking at a hovabator 2370. Anyone here have one and like it? I can’t remember, do you have one @CluckNDoodle?

You don't have to buy on Amazon. They'll delay your shipping anyway, even if in stock. Go to Incubator Warehouse. They make the Incuvue but they have all sorts of other incubators, and they ship right away.

With your incuvue, I've found you need to take it easy on the calibration. Even if it's off by nine degrees, only move it a few, then wait. I have no idea why this is so, but it is with mine.
