Is it normal for a chick to..........

It is not bad, it just isn't great for game birds. I honest to God like mine when it doesn't spike. If the room temp stays the same, and there is a high humidity level in the room they will make great bators. I would not use a forced air as a hatcher, but many people do so it does work, but I prefer still air. For your needs I think an LG or a Hova-Bator is perfect for you. The sportsman is nice, but it is a ton of money to buy and only hatch a few eggs in...

There is no fan....

Never mind, I am just really confused and this new medicine is makin me loopy.... So she was going to give you a perfectly good incubator?

She decided to keep it for her chickens tho.
I THOUGHT there was a fan, but there isn't.

Okay, I can't comprehend much at the moment...

My Hova Bator works well for my needs. Forced Air with a wafer thermostat that never fails to hold the temp. No temp spikes and no humidity problems so far and it's been 7 years.

I've been getting 2-3 eggs a day for about a week and now I'm getting ready to set 15 or so eggs to test fertility. Once it checks out I'm good to go on my hatching eggs.

Haha!
I can't wait for the eggs to come!!

Why in the world do you have a Sportsman if you are only going to incubate around 12 eggs at one time? Sportsmans are for over 100 eggs! I suggest using a Hova-Bator for you hatcher...or your incubator! Great hatch rates in mine. Everyone ( just about ) that I know hates their LG and are either getting a Brinsea or a HB.

I hate mine when it screws up, when it works right I love it.
