No, that's why the OP changed the title, so we can all talk about it right here in this thread.

Perfect, I placed my order for the IncuCube this afternoon and can't wait to try it out.

Well, the first drama of the hatch unfolded this evening

I have a sensitive temperature probe that I put into the IncuCubebator (the one with only 12 eggs) since yesterday afternoon it noticed that the temperature would have wide swings from 98.2 up to 101.4 and the humidity had plummeted to 20%.

It was driving me nuts as to why.

I finally figured it out. The thin plastic window on the back side had come loose, cold air had been rushing in for who knows how long.
I may not have noticed it but for the drop in humidity and the need to add more water to the little reservoirs at the bottom.

I really wanted those polish crosses to hatch as well as the GCMaran. And I had my bluest of eggs from my own girls in there as well.

Oh well, you win some, you loose some. I'm leaving them in there until candle. So much for that $90.00

I got some duct tape and taped it down along the bottom margin as well as up along the sides.
Now the temp only fluctuates from 99.4 to 100.8 a much better swing in temp. My humidity is a tad on the high side... guess I didn't need to add so much... but it's slowly going down.

We'll see what they all look like at first candle on the 10th.

So what day are they on now?

They went in Thursday at about 4PM.

ok, so at the moment the IncuCube has a bit of temp fluctuation, I was going to buy one but I want to wait on how it turns out for you hatchers

Yes, but what happened was the plastic cover came loose! I had to put it back on with duct tape. I feel like I have a little homemade incubator here.... that I paid a lot of $$ for.
