EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BullChick]

Here goes nothing! The eggs are in the incubator. I’m debating switching one out tomorrow. There’s a long egg that is less likely to hatch.
Other things working against me: You get what you pay for. This incubator really is junk.
It’s foreign (measures in Celsius ), I had to remove the glue hairs left by the glue gun. It’s loud, and vibrates (I worry about the eggs shaking so much!). It incubates vertically (which I prefer), so I have to use coasters to rotate the whole machine throughout the day.
I’ve never successfully incubated green or blue eggs. Broodies are always needed for that.
The ambient humidity is 57%. This thing doesn’t have room for a bag of rice. I will try to fit a plastic egg of rice in, but I don’t think I can with the hygrometer in there.

Wants the name of it again?

I can’t tell you again. I never told you a first time.

That was just in case I didn’t hear you the first time. I’m deeeef.

It’s hysterical to read the reviews. Most are for a different product.

I couldn’t argue that.
Heck for 40 more you could have gotten a hova bator
Of course the temp is wrong. And it’s somewhat noisy

And it holds a whole lot more

The one thing going for this cheap thing is that the temperature is accurate.
I might buy a better mini incubator in the future. I really didn’t want to use one of my big ones because it’s a total waste of space, energy, and it would be too hard to keep a steady temperature.
