Naw i didnt get any eggs. .got antzy the other day .emailed a guy in Mo on Ebay had Lo eggs but hes way up by KC. (GOOD!!) I never could see in my eggs Deb. All i ever have seen but twice was a dark blob..never movement nothing.Just went by the size and was it growing bigger! At the very end it got ALL dark then i got chicks usually out of the all dark ones. . Not too specific!! Never saw an air cell or if i did it was so faint i could barley tell its there. Once saw veins near the wall of the shell on 2 eggs ...only once in 8 hatches!!!(All brown eggs)

Maybe a fluke but every clutch i had hatch i had them laying down, hand turned them. Felt it was more natural Did first 2 clutches in the turner didnt get one chick . HOWEVER...others have GREAT luck with a turner and most ppl dont have time to hand turn.

Right he was inthe COMMECIAL business who knows how big and expensive his bator was . It Probably did everything automatically but wipe the chicks butts. We all turn 3 to 5 times a day and most of us 3.Every 2 hours? you'd go crazy and why if 3 times does the trick? . Never heard of that here.

Awesome with your eggs ...i tried tell him that his eggs didn't have to travel far. When that day seven come i am going to use a book to raise the egg tray level since no automatic egg turner..

Just put a large phone book or something thick under one side of the incubator and then switch sides every couple of hours. I use a Large flat rate Priority box (3"high)and it works great. That way you don't have to open the bator every time you turn.

If I could buy one that wiped the chicks butt I think I would soooo invest!
