I am from Perth, Western Australia, and recently bought a '~~Sanven Janoel 48 Eggs Digital Automatic Turner Incubator'. Excitedly we bought 2 dozen Aracuana eggs and set them in at 37.8 degrees C and 55% humidity, we hatched 1, a nice bird called 'cheep cheep'. Not so cheap at $50 (for 2 dozen).
We then set a heap of Australorp and cross breed bantum eggs (40 eggs), we rarely opened it, we tried to get the humidity to stay stable, and we hatched 4 Australorp and 4 Bantum, 8 out of 40, 20 per cent..............
I have not seen a proper review of this incubator.....
Can anyone give me tips on effectively using this incubator?
We had the chickens form but not hatch so we know they were fertile, but couldn't get the humidity to stay at the temp suggested 75% for the hatching time, 20 per cent seems low, others say they can get 90% hatchings........ Has anyone used this brand and got a good percentage hatch? and if so how?
Thank you
