Thought you guys might enjoy some pictures.

11 silkies have hatched. Letting the last of them fluff up a bit more before moving them to the brooder with the rest.

Feeling like spring in Melbourne even though we are still officially in winter. Had to celebrate by getting the incubator fired up. 7 wheatan maran eggs set and due to hatch 22nd August!!

Ooops, I am devastated, while candleing I dropped
the egg flat, more than half are toast. Luckliy I got 10 back in the incubator, before it happened.. So I just put another 16 in, they will be due on the 24th.

So sorry to hear that. Candling is exciting and nerve racking at the same time. Hope the new 16 all develop beautifully.

My first time incubating. They due this month maybe duck next month. Turning by hand as I don't believe turner working properly

Never put eggs by the turner motor. If it’s off, you don’t need the turner in there.

It moves but only one direction slants them rightward first 2 hours then flat again next 2 hours. It's still going but it's not rotating my eggs

Then get the eggs away from the motor.

Just curious with quail eggs. Some feel lighter then others it day 6-7. The light egg is dark black almost half and clear other side. That's probably bad huh idk. I put beeswax on it cause it was cracked
