March 2023 hatch-a-long

Day 10 candling and all 10 eggs looking good!
I didn’t bother marking the air cells this time. I figured whatever will be will be. Incubator worked perfect last time in terms of humidity and temp everyone hatched well and looked good coming out. Feeling more relaxed on this hatch.

Minus my weak chick that didn’t make it but due to help from BYC members identified it was a B vitamin issue not an incubation issue.

I just eye the air cells when I candle. Never found a need to mark it.

Last time I marked because it was my first time incubating and also my eggs were shipped and all extremely saddled. It was hard to gauge. Now I feel more confident in the process and air cells are normal since they are local eggs.

Hi everyone. I didn't think so but can anyone tell me if the egg turner in the Nurture Right 360 has anything to do with the number of days? Today should be day 3 but it's still on day 4, the only change was the egg turner came unplugged. I left it unplugged because I didn't realize it still said day 4 this morning and I've already removed the turning rack and put down paper towels and didn't want it to start turning again.

My experience with this bator is that the turning tray light in the upper right corner will turn off on day 18 . If anything gets unplugged it defaults back to 21 days countdown. Not sure if this addressed your question - I guess short answer would be no

Tomorrow is LOCKDOWN!

Tonight for me. A little worried about the small air cells still but can only wait and see at this point. Will be a long could of days waiting now.

Checked my last broody who was sitting on 10 eggs and was due today - and there are 8 little fur balls running around - they are so cute!

Candling tonight, day 10. Hopefully I’ll be able to see better through those dark eggs

don't lock down if they look like this!!! It may be day 18 but it is not ready. If you lockdown anyway, it may take longer for hatching.

Below is an egg that is ready. See the slope?
