Hello fellow European peeps! It's been a minute.
I started the adventure of attempting to hatch eggs in an incubator, and failed. Low fertility rate and inaccurate temp and humidity. Live and learn. But yesterday, barely 24 hours after I put the 2nd batch of 24 eggs in (bought from a breeder this time), our 1 month old incubator died. So, I guess don't buy a Wiltec.
This morning we dropped the eggs off to a guy whom has a side job of hatching eggs for other people, hopefully at least a few of the 23 eggs I bought survived...
It'll be a long wait til next Tuesday!
I was looking around on this forum for a better incubator for next year, but most threads are from US-based peeps, obviously. Anyone got any recommendations on lower budget brands and types easily available in Europe?
One that automatically turns the eggs and has a stable and accurate thermometer and hygrometer.
Assuming we can get our money back for the broken one. I wouldn't trust one from the same brand after all this. Paid more for it than a Puisor Exotic with automatic turner costs too.
And since you peeps were talking dogs, here's my 2 as tax
