Update on my hatch: My 1st pip hasn't made any progress (maybe a malposition?) And my 2nd has zipped about halfway. No new pips so far.

What do you guys think of: Farm Innovators 2450 Digital Circulated Air Incubator with Automatic Egg Turner

Thinking of getting another incubator and I saw this one on amazon and thought hmm.. possibly? Anyone have it here? Have successes it with it?

Mmmmmh with those type bators I would get the Hovabator Genesis over the Farm Innovators

I usually leave mine in for about 24 hrs (at least until they are completely dry) ... have you checked out this thread - Sally Sunshine is amazing with all her hatching info https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...s-bantychooks-and-more.1137467/#post-17631705
