It has begun!!! 1st Time

[Kiki]

@Texas Kiki your great with hatching chicks. Want to join in?

I'm here now.
Let me catch up real quick. Brb

 

[Kiki]

I'm laying them flat. I take it a 1/4 turn?

Stand them up.

 

[Kiki]

Or two days. I has a hell of time learning the digital controls of the incuview.


They'll be fine....slow down a bit.
I would not buy any expensive hatching eggs until you've got an incubation under your belt. It's pretty big learning curve.

Agreed.

 

[Kiki]

I'll follow along. Good luck.

I'd recommend playing with the bator for a few (3) before you put any eggs in it.
Test the temp and play around with how much water it needs and what it does to the humidity level. (In hour house...all locations differ as to how much water is needed or not)

Yes...and to learn digital control menu.
Then after putting eggs in WAIT at least 4-5 hours for everything to stabilize....
....same goes for after changing any settings.

Stand them up.

I did already, your late to the party

I know but I can't help myself. I reply in the moment...before I read through.

But...I see that your bator incubates them laying down so I guess it doesn't make a difference which way you store them? Doesn't quite make sense does it?

That's what I figured, incubator has them flat so why not store them flat?? Well now I have them pointy end down in a new egg carton. Lifting each end about 2-3 times a day. I have them down in the basement which is about in the low 60*.
