It didn't work since i left no review?

Had the same problem, tried, but never saw where that My rating have been counted. Tried a few times, no luck.

It worked if you clicked on a star rating and left a blank review.

will try again

 

[SavKel&RynKel]

will try again

I dont think you have to try again, i think you got it..
Not really sure, cause i thought that was wrong too, but Kiki made it sound like that's how its supposed to work

I am just a fake hatcher!

Actually I am the fake hatcher, since I only use a real Hen bator and am too scared to try a real bator, So just rely on the hen to do all the work.

After 2.7 incubations I'm ready to try the hen method. That gives me someone else to blame it on when things go wrong!

Be careful with that. There are some who believe that can cause adverse effects... I can't really prove/disprove this, but i will say not a lot changes day to day, if you do one or the other daily, you'll handle them half as much and still have a pretty good idea as to where they are at. Our second incubation lost 4 or so... Probably one every five days? And we couldn't tell until there was a significant difference. (Which has me worried about my current egg #2, hoping it is just a runt)

The thinking on "over" candling, if you will, is that, (1) you can drop the egg; (2) you can introduce bacteria into the egg via dirty hands; or (3) damage the embryo by too much shaking/movement. So, as long as you are slow and careful and have freshly washed hands, it's probably OK. The only time you must stop candling and handling is at lockdown, when the little chicks are trying to move into hatching position. Just my two cents, anyway.

For this test we needed one star ratings with no reviews. In the future feel free to rate AND leave reviews on any article you read. Actually it would be great if everyone could read a few articles and rate and review then when you have time.
