Hi guys. I am new to chickens and very excited. Received 13 silkie hatching eggs today, and I have the Brinsea Maxi II Advance, warming up right now, while the eggs are resting at room temp. I will have many questions! I am currently trying to figure out how to accurately set the turning option. Thanks for being here! ~ Angie

Between the pros on the Incubating/Hatching forum and the videos @rjohns39 shared, you should be able to get answers.

Best of luck to you with your hatch and thanks for joining us!

Hi Angie. Be sure to calibrate your thermometers and hygrometer. Don't trust the digital read out on your incubator, or the thermometer.
