Hellooooooooo everybody! So, I HAVE AN INCUBATION QUESTION!
Recently I've been hatching out chicks for my pops, however I've been having two problems. 1- I've had three chicks now that have died shortly after hatching/during zipping. One died 3/4 finished with a zip, eggtopsy showed a perfect chick. The second hatched, but was crazy weak from the get go and had a small tummy and died a day later. The third hatched, seemed normal the first few hours then rapidly went down hill and died 24 hours later (he had a poke-out navel, but looked normal otherwise). I've also had three DIS, perfectly formed upon eggtopsy, ready to hatch. This was from a total of 20 viable eggs- 2 different incubators. That's around 1/3 of the eggs, and it's infuriating! What could be causing this?!?

after hatch are their bellies big and filled with water? you dont assist them do you?

Good morning everyone!
Had a mishap yesterday with the bator, fan died.
Came home to an odd smell in the house and found bator fan cooked itself.
Bator was down to 91 degrees on day 5
Installed replacement and got temps back up within 20 minutes.
Hoping it was only short term and planning an early candle this evening to check eggs.
Second dead fan in three months. Grrrrr!

Have a good day everyone
Like Chaos, have to at least look like I am working for a few more hours.

Good morning, how does the freezing work out. Use them for baking only?

I sell all extras to the guys at work.

For how much?
