Yee Ha three out of eight on my first full attempt at incubation

one Light Sussex and two Wellsummers

This unfortunate one I broke open over the compost bin to see what was going on and it was breathing so rushed back into the incubator surprisingly its still alive after six hours so I'm waiting to see what happens.
as for the others, one was fully formed but dead and the other three were rotten.


I've got the humidity up high to keep the inner membrane moist I hope this is best for it.
Fingers crossed

No it was dead when I got in this evening, so its now in the compost bin doing its thing, I've cleaned the incubator and put it away.

I'm going too, well to be honest already started 30 eggs duly delivered via E bay various breeds in a corti 24 i think its called which arrived two days ago another masterful steal from e bay, they all arrived the same day, 14th July, I didn't let it settle but its doing well, it helps being second hand and set up previously.
My opinion is not really printable about what I think of the auto turning gear its absolute crap, my ten year old could have come up with a better way of doing this job, so I'm going to turn these by hand anyway if the mechanism manages a bit all well and good, I'm not trusting it anyway like I said its crap.
so on wards and up wards............................

set 14th 7pm

)
