Naw, Fake Eilleen loves me.

Most days

Why not use the turner?

Or if not the turner, this....View attachment 1293812 It gives a more desirable outcome with DUX eggs....

I have been advised by several who hatch them that call dux eggs do better on their side, and with the Turner for this incubator I can't put them on their side.

Now don't be ordering a hyDrometer. You need a hyGrometer. Well, you might need a hydrometer too, if you're making your own moonshine.

Yep, we used to have a hen who would lay underneath the kids' slide. Then all of the others began doing the same. We couldn't figure out where all of the eggs were going. We finally found all 35 of them under the slide!
