Hands on hatching and help

[KaylorFarms]

How will I turn the eggs without the hitting each other? it looks kinda cramped to even turn them?

I use a separate glass dropper... works perfect...

There you go... was just thinking ... I bought a set of glass droppers and could use one of those instead. It would reduce my waste too!

@ronott1 I meant to show you this... did you know cooling eggs every day ruins hatch rates???

Oh My!

There are studies that show the benefits of periodic cooling but it does not sound like the person would believe them

I know that Brinsea has their cooling option to imitate the hen moving off the nest. According to their information, their study shows that this increased hatch rates, after -- was it day 7???

I thought I missed some rebuttal to my response, but there wasn't any.

Do you think it will break on me?

No idea... I don't know this bator. You can look to see if it's listed in the incubator reviews -- what's it called?

My thought isn't so much that it will break. Apparently, people have hatched an egg with a light bulb before (I don't recommend it-- but I applaud their success and would have tried it as a kid had I known it was possible). But, maintaining proper temp & humidity is key in a successful hatch.

We just want you to have success.

Aren't there instructions?

Often it is best to not get into it with those that seem to not believe in study results. I will often post the science and then not respond.

Brinsea did not do the study that was from a University. There are quite a few actually--enough that is valid and of course repeatable.

Yes-- I misspoke ... it was based on a study, of course

I don't have it yet, it might be here tomorrow
