Has anyone changed incubator (day 3)

[Tillyk]

Morning,
We are on day 3 and I’m not convinced by our incubators capacity for me to be able to turn the eggs decently.
Its a tiny 7 egg incubator. I turn them around and adjust the angle of them but reading up I don’t think the incubator we have has a great success.
I know somebody who has a larger incubator with automatic turning that we can borrow.
Has anyone ever moved eggs after starting incubation or are we best to leave them where they are??
has anyone had success with the small 7 egg incubator??
Thank you for any help

Welcome to BYC!

I think as long as you have the new incubator running for at least 24 hours, and get it maintaining the right temp and humidity you'd be fine transferring them over.

That early, provided you have the other set up when they are moved, you should be fine

What brand is the other incubator?
The one you are using now will not give you a good hatch rate. The sooner you move them, the better.

Humidity is also way too high in that bator. There should not be condensation on the lid like that. One of the many problems with that one.

I’m picking the other incubator up at 4pm, so will get it plugged in and ready to move them ASAP

This is the one I’m borrowing

You shouldn’t have any issues moving them but I will point out that your humidity is probably too high in your current incubator to have condensation at day 3......do you have calibrated thermometer and hygrometer?? (For both this incubator and the borrowed one). While brinsea is high quality brand, it’s still a good idea to check accuracy of factory instruments

The Brinsea is an excellent bator. All should be fine

X2 double check the accuracy of temp and humidity....even a Brinsea
