INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Chaos18]

I don't think they have eggs, but I do know they have standard and bantam chicks.

I'm just a worrier.

That and the cooling time has helped my hatches out a ton. They're better now than before I started and I haven't changed how I hatch.

idk,I'm stupid

no reason to say that, take a deep breath and relax, and be thankful your not dealing with learning to hatch in incubator at high atlitudes

needs coffee, least son's learning how to do that I can try and relax lol

I didn't take it as mean, everyone is a newbie at some point in any given thing. I learn more frome listening to advice and hands on than reading text books anyway

After reading 1000's of threads like this and starting out with a homemade incubator where I had to hand turn eggs 5 times a day. Having crappy hatches every week. Maybe 50% if I was lucky boils down to the incubator. Since I bought the Sportsman, it went from frustration to easy. Now get 93% every week and sometimes but rare 100%. And I do nothing different. Collect eggs for 6 days and put them in on the 7th. Thats it. Nothing else to say. If anybody is really having problems look no further than your incubator. Temp problems, humidity problems all extends to the equipment. Not going to win a NASCAR race with a VW bug.

I might if I modify the bug

Was it a helpful giant white block at least?

You will get there one day Chicken Hawk, with practice and keeping yourself distracted you'll get there, my first hatch did that too, trying to figure out what works best at 5k and have had to try different things when one didn't work.

First thing I learned was don't follow the manufactures instructions talk to people that have been doing it successfully

Second Thing I learned is there are lots of different ways to do things you gotta find what works best for your situation
