Need help with David Bradley incubator

[ddnowens]

I just setup this David Bradley wood cabinet incubator that my neighbor gave me yesterday at 7:00 and it has been holding 99.5-100 degrees but the wet monitor and water canister was not in there so I'm working on that part but I am not sure how to use the manual egg turners. It looks like you pull the metal sleeves on bottom of the drawers and it slides the wires bottom and the eggs meet with the metal bar in the tray and it turns them. Any help explaining what to watch out for or how to use this thing would be very appreciated. I have private messaged someone that may possibly have a manual to a incubator similar to this incubator but I hope to add eggs tonight if I can get some information on this incubator.

Thanks in advance!

Could you take pictures? I would like to help. If I could see about 3 pictures of the outside, and a few of the inside, I would enjoy helping you!

Most egg shelves, or egg turner racks need trays for them.

I recently acquired a David Bradley as well. Not in as pretty a condition as yours, but nice and running all the same. What did you do to clean/sanitize it? Mine doesn't appear to have been used recently for hatching, but has an old rat nest and just general stuff in it. I want to make sure it is as clean and healthy a place for the baby quackers as it can be. Also, do you have the original water pan? I am going to try to create a makeshift water pan for the time being, but would like to find a photo and get measurements of one so I can take it to my local fabricator. I know this thread has been dead for a while, but hoping to get some answers! Thanks!
