I will be going to San Antonio from the 12th to the 19th. I am getting eggs this week. So if I put them in the bator on Saturday, then I should be home for the hatch. So that will leave my hubby here to babysit my bator. How scary is that? I guess I will be leaving alot of instructions! Unless I can get 2 silkies to go broody. I'll see if golf balls do the trick, LOL
I have an rcom eco 20. Great bator temp wise and humidity wise. Then you put the eggs in between these slats and the floor moves back and forth to turn the eggs. However, the last 2 batches of eggs had 2 chicks born upside down, and when candling, I noticed that some of the eggs had lopsided air pockets. So I'm not crazy about the way the thing turns the eggs, so this time I'll be turning by hand at least twice a day.
