   Oh wow!!   Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So pretty!

I have one. I just had my first hatch. I don't see where I can program cooling cycles.

If I can find the link you can get one for 99 dollars. The turners are 40 each though.

I am trying to find hatching baskets to fit in it.

That sounds like a really good deal! How many eggs can you fit in the 2 turners?

I have been considering getting a Repitpro 6000. Despite its name it has turners and can do bird eggs too. It is a table top cabinet and sells for around $249 with two turners. You can even program cooling cycles with it to imitate a hen getting up to eat and drink. When it first came out their were some early issues with the door glass window not being sealed right and fogging but I believe they have fixed that issue.

There were no user reviews on their website. Are there some reviews you've seen elsewhere?

Where do you live? Are you needing any rooster? I am sorry about your rooster.

I'm from the Midwest. I'm not sure yet, but will possibly be looking for one.

Yeah, you're surely right (and now I'll quit calling you Shirley). I was just hoping that by this time I could candle them and see a little chick waving back to me.

Ebay sells a 3000 lumen flashlight that only gets warm to the touch. Just search for 3000 lumen flashlight and it comes up. It is your best chance to see into those dark eggs. It only costs about $9 shipped.

32 eggs. It is small like a dorm frig.

I went to bed early because I was exhausted and then woke up at 3am. This is all happening quickly, but #2 is OUT! #3 is pipped and # 1 is definitely internally pipped. No word from #4 yet.

Someone wants to say hello...

Congrats! Can't wait to see them all fluffed up! e

OH NO! It looks like that offer has expired. When I follow the link it takes me to the fully tricked out 'bator for $250.
