Omg how cute!! What do you do with all the chicks? I want to turn this into a hobby as I'm already dreading an empty incubator. Where do they all go?! Xxx

The ones I don't keep I sell. I haven't had in empty bator since February.

Wow! I'm guessing you're in the states? I'm one of the few Brits mad enough to be up at this hour!! I think demands just as high here... Hope it is anyway! I can't stop now

Yup. I'm in Louisiana. That first time I hatched an egg I was hooked. I should be taking a go at my dream eggs next week, peacocks!
Right now I have Langshans, BC marans, Salmon Faverolles and quail eggs going.

Wow! Quite jealous! I can see this being a long term addiction...

One bator turns into two...then three... LOL. It's a long fluffy road of no return.

Hi I don't mean to still your thread I just can't seem to get any answers so had to ask here I've got the same problem

I'm only one hatch 1 and I already have two!!! I got the mini as I have a staggered hatch. I was thinking of hatching in the mini for better visibility, also figured less space so easier to keep temp and humidity? Only prob is I can't find a humidity meter that fits it! And I wanna know I've got good humidity, not just guess. So frustrating! Also with the mini I found you can candle THROUGH the incubator glass so I'm hoping ill be able to check for movement/positioning without opening the lid xxx

Hey! I can see a big vein, that's surely a good sign? What day are you on? Is it not moving at all? Xxx

Can't really tell from the pics. My advice is the same, if its not stinking then leave it until its past due. No harm in giving it more time but if it is alive, you would feel awful to break or abandon it.
