My new incubator I just got in December the fan in it went out!!! And I have eggs hatching next week!!

They can hatch without a fan.... No worries.. just keep an eye on the temp... I don't know if it is a good idea but I would open it daily... as if I was hand turning.... Just hang in there!!! It will be okay...

You may even choose to hand turn at this point and move them around as you do so you don't end up with any in a particular "hot spot"... which you may not have anyway...

I hatched lots of eggs for years with a still air.... they still hatch.

Can you return it? I would contact the company and complain.

$200 out of my pocket for this incubator!
Brinseas is my next pick!

That's rediculas!!! I would call and make them pay for the bator and the eggs!

If you have a heating pad, put it in the bottom of the incubator, and monitor temperature.

Good luck.

I put the eggs in another incubator that has duck eggs in it. Just my luck I've had problems with infertile, scrambled shipped eggs, humidity and temp problems. I feel like it's not ment to be
