I am a first timer and soooo excited and nervous at the same time. I have been playing with my new incubator for two days, I know I will be sitting there staring at it for three weeks. It is a forced air with an egg turner, I got the temp stable at 100, it kicks off and goes down to 99.2 before kicking back on. My egg turner that came with it was broke, incubator warehouse is sending a new motor, If I set the eggs before the motor gets here, is it ok to add it after I already start the eggs? Do I have to worry about it raising the temp too much, or lowering it when I first put it in because it is not warmed up? Sorry about all the questions! I have been reading the BYC forums for days now, so much good information! I look forward to following everyone's adventure!
That is exciting! I LOVE the Orpingtons, once I have faith that I can do this right I would love to find some Lemon Cuckoo to try and hatch. Good luck!
Poult I'm having a great hatch so far. Everything I candled is viable. The only egg I can't see in is my marans. I was letting dldolan know what bator I got and where the settings were as well as asking others with the same bator if they have any advice for me since its my first time. Lol.
