im glad your ready to learn! Incubating has quite a curve! That bator is known as a Little Giant 9300 i had to lookit my box to figure out what you were talking about, Miller manufactuer and item # 6300 That modle can be greatly improved with a fan but the fan type heater is whats different from the 9200, with the heating element which holds temp slightly steadier.
Im glad its holding steady for u tho, do u have secondary calibrated thermometers and hyrometers? Alot of how steady the incubator remains is in the enviroment and how steady that is. With such special eggs i figured you want all bases covered and digi devices can each default at any given time.
My LG93 fried 21 duck eggs in a temp spike before i gave up on it with only 8 eggs ordered do u plan to set some others in all that space? If not id recomend sealed sterlized containers of water so that they Dont raise your humidity and they help hold your temps more stable. With only 8 eggs in total id be concerned about temp swings. If youll trace the air cells on days 7, 14 and 18 you can monitor their growth and determine if your humidity is in the right range.
Shipped eggs can be treated differently but results vary. Mostly jus plain and simple shipping does dammage and it will or wont be bad enough. i havent set shipped eggs but a friend has hached eggs i sent to her. Ive seen most people hold onto them to let them settle at least overnight. You always want the big end up. Some air cells may roll inside the egg.
me if i talk to much, i hatching tho and im more than glad to help
I let mine settle two days before starting. For candeling I have a 130 lumens led tiny flash light . I found it by the pen lights in Home Depot it works great. Pam
becomin a candlin addict like the resta us eh? I like to trace the air cells in bright marker colors to get a color coding and keep track of the mouisture lose. Its a good enuff excuse anyway
2 days is probly better for stabalizing egg cells but i mostly dont want the eggs to get over 10 days old. Which raises another point, same day laid eggs can hatch, but of you wait past the first three days, the PH changes alot and you might get more hatchers.
Love you Pam. That welcome is not for me though. Looks like I'm staying in the Portland/Vancouver area. My daughter is thrilled and has a garden space ready for me. The opportunities are unlimited up here. A mobile processing unit 30 miles away. Cottage businesses are all over. I'm going to get busy. I won't be coming home to pack up my stuff. My daughter Brandi can do that and store it for me. I am at peace. Happy.welcome to the la-yers. Pam

I wouldn't say I'm an addict. I candle ate 3 days and 18 days. I circle the air sell in pencil. I candled today to see the final eggs left were still going. I'm a set and let it be hatcher seems the more I ignore the better the hatch. Here's my hatch details out of my shipped eggs 2 clears, to fully formed quitters one was in the wrong position . So 8 out of 12 I'm happy out of shipped eggs . All my eggs hatched except one quitter. So I'm happy.
Back to the candeling I was terrible at it I thought. The stronger lumens and the smaller pen size is a game changer. Pam
That's great news Top Dog! They look really good. Those brooders can surprise you. I love seeing chicks. Happy Easter!I have six of seven natural hatch chicks in these 2 pics, this RIR hen is 10 months old. @ of these should be CCL and 1 Saffire, the others are , well i dont remember Pam, these are the first 2 CCL that i hatched in OCT, waiting for her to lay now, he has become a fine looking roo, she is also a fine looking pullet
