Goose Egg Turner in Hova-Bator

[katharinad]

Ok, this may be a little bit off, but I'm having trouble with my turner. It worked fine with 35 quail eggs, and now I'm using the goose rails with 15 duck eggs. I triple checked the placement of the rails and had even my husband check it too. It is all according to the drawing on their website. The turner seems to get stuck when hitting the left side. All the motor does is clicks and gets hot. I've disconnected the motor and the mechanism moves freely. It seems that the motor does not have the strength to pull it back once it hits the outer left side. Has anyone encountered a similar problem and what was the solution. I did buy it from the manufacturer and it is still under warranty. For now I'm turning the eggs by hand.

sounds like you have a bad motor. i hatch my duck eggs in the regular chicken treys

I've tried the regular cups, but some of the eggs are to big. They tip over. They are Saxony duck eggs.

I bought the goose egg turner for turkey eggs. Turns out they fit in the regular egg turner anyway.
