Just bought new incubator!!! HHD 48 egg incubator

[gimmie birdies]

Of the white/blue store egg batch all were clear but one I have photo of spider web. it is in incubator day 18 or so, the Incubator has been running at 100 but I am using an internal thermometer and not the computer one. The above batch from a farm will hatch later than this one egg. That batch had 3 little white clears, and a crack in a dark brown. As far as the rest, 6 eggs under a hen, and the rest in incubator, those are due on the 1st I think. once I got the internal temps figured out, I like this incubator. if I get a good hatch, I will love it.

So on April 3rd, I put all white and blue fridge eggs in incubator, all were clear but one Day 21 it hatched in the HHD, I also have eggs due next week still in incubator, when this guy fluffs I will take him out. I have chicks he can play with. Anyone using this incubator I would have to say use an internal thermometer. but it worked great!

I agree, I have two like it, one is a Janoel, the other is a no name version, and I found the built in meters to be garbage, so I use Xiaomi meters.

These 6 hatched today, more in incubator 8 pip/zip... and 3 not pipped but vein/and movement in egg. First the 6 that hatched...

Now the 6 in the brooder, with a gray chick from meyer.

Below are the pip/zip in incubator.

2 more hatched.

12 out not including the gray chick, and 5 still in pip/zip/aircell stages, the brown egg to the left is ex big (I am surprised I chose a big egg, I hear smaller eggs hatch better, it is a day behind the others.

I think I have 3 that are still waiting to hatch, 2 with pip holes.

That's awesome! I've been tempted to buy one of these to test them out before but the reviews are always so terrible. I'm glad to see that by simply adding additional thermometers you were able to have a successful hatch.

I really like the Rcom I've borrowed from a friend, but I'm loath to shell out the three hundred dollars for a new one.

That is true- When I was first testing it out going by the digital, I wrecked some eggs, but once the internal thermom's got in there, it seems just right, and I did have a power out.
Deff trust the internal ones! It has been a long and smelly journey though. I will be have to control my self and wait now till next year to hatch. and wait longer till the weather is warmer.
