This LG is being a pain! So hard to get temp correct! ERRR I hope the eggs will be ok.

It's not fun trying to figure this thing out when I've only ever incubated in the brinsea, and that was pretty simple.

First poult of the year.



Looks to be pure palm.

1 out.
1 half out.
3 more pipped out of 8 eggs.

DO YOU ever let the mama turkeys raise their poult? My turkeys hatched yesterday. In a pen but manage to kill off a couple already. So I took the last 2 away. No the other turkey has six . but I am afraid she'll not take care of them. Do ya think I should take them too

I feel like ripping this thing up as well. How good is the hovabator? Is that a styrofoam model as well?

i think i will check into it. I can't see myself doing many hatches in the LG unless I can figure out how to make it stable.
