I belong here! Hello crazy hatchers!!

I have one incubator that can only hold 12 eggs with the turner, but without the turner i can squeeze in over 20. So i choose the second option. I have another one that can hold 24 with the turner, but without it it can hold probably over 50. Its running with the turner....but for Easter it wont be...hehe.

I also have 2 darn cute chicks that are ongoing 2 days old.

I've 10 young ones in the coop (11 weeks old) and 19 2 day olds in my livingroom!

Please help me NOT set more eggs...

How many incubators does everyone have and what kind?

I have a brinsea mini advanced that I got used. I've figured out that the built in thermometer is off by half a degree. I decided that I wanted to be able to incubate more than 7-10 eggs at a time so I got a second incubator. I went cheap with a hovabator 1602n and I added a fan. The temp fluctuates a little more than I like, but with this batch of eggs I have gotten the humidity to stay stable. 10 eggs are on lockdown so we'll see how it goes. My first batch I had 2 hatch out of 9, but they were shipped eggs and I didn't know what I was doing with them.

I've got two incubators, one is a IncuView that holds 27 with turner, I'm guessing 36 without. And I also have a little giant one that holds 35 with turner and probably at least 50 with a turner.

I like your way of thinking!!!!
