I have a pro series model 4200 that I got for free from a friend. I tried using it last year but never got good hatch rates out of it. I had better success turning by hand than I did with this incubator. Probably because I had to open it too much. The temperature is also difficult to nail down since I’m using a mercury thermometer to tell if it’s right and it isn’t easy to read through the small windows.
Anyway, I’m using it again because my other incubators are full. But I felt like the turner last year wasn’t working. I feel the same way again. Every time I look in the windows the tray is in the same position. Or at least it seems that way to my eye. How do I check if it’s working? Or is there some way to monitor it without watching it for hours physically? I thought about putting a camera in the room that records it but I don’t have one nor do I know how I would set it up. Any simpler ideas would be nice.
