Day1 Hatching eggs

120 is the capacity with the turner that comes with those incubators, you can fit as many as it will hold in those. Just like with chicken eggs, the turner holds 41-42 eggs, but without that turner you could probably fit 60 in it.

Kind of like the Brinsea Mini Advance. With the quail turner, it holds 12 eggs. Without it? Well, it held 20...and I could have packed in 24.

Don't know what I'd have done if they'd all hatched, though! There wouldn't have been room for them to move.

I knew the chances of them all hatching were slim since my Roo was taking a break...

Edited to add: It did take SUPER careful maneuvering to turn those eggs, though! And if there had been any more, putting the lid back on would have been tricky - but possible.

More than I have room to raise! Given my proclivity for collecting roosters, I have to strictly control my hatching. Thank goodness for my TINY incubator.

You could sell them as pets.

Nope, not me. I get attached to my critters. I don't make a good farmer for that reason. Was raised on one & know how that would work out for me!


I'll just hatch out a few a year to keep up my egg laying ratio now. (Cause we all know I have 9 girls downstairs in the brooder.)
