First i loaded 120 eggs, 69 hatched, on my 2nd batch i got many problems, i loaded 120 eggs and only 51 hatched, a friend told me that before loading i need to fumigate the incubator with formalin and a kind of pottassium, to kill the dreaded gram positive bacteria. Please advise many many thanks!
I just wipe mine out with a mild bleach & water combo. & never had any problems, it takes time to get to know what your bator can & cant do, just hang in there & everything will fall into place, trial & error, good luck.
It happens. In my two hatches last year, I had 66 eggs first hatch, got 43 chicks. Next hatch I had 80 eggs, got 43 chicks. We'll see what happens for my New Years Day hatch this year. Roos are crowing, I gotta get in the shower.
