hi again all, about two weeks ago I posted about hatching Runner Duck eggs. Yesterday my boyfriend put an external temp. gauge in the incubator and it read 60*C and we have realised the incubator is very, very broken. We are looking to get a new one and you experts should be able to give me the pros and cons of different models.
So. Seeing as our incubator ( set to 37.5 degrees) cooked our eggs we will be getting another dozen once we make a decision to a new one.
1- hand turned or auto? We are only doing a dozen but my boyfriend is forgetful and I'm not there to turn them all the time. Also I figure that ducks should be turned as many times as possible which we can't do. Model suggestions?
2- where should we leave the incubator? The house is quite often hot so should the incubator be left somewhere cooler? We are also in a temperate region so that adds to the external heat.
Thank you, if I have any other questions I'll be sure to ask.
