I highly recommend a circulated air hova bator. I have a 2362E that I have been using for 4 years now. I pack it away and pull it back out and almost never need to mess with the temperature now that it's set. I don't think they make that model anymore but I'm 100% sold on GQF. I use my old GQF cabinet most of the time now with just the hova bator to hatch in but it's on all through hatching season (hatching weekly)

I'll be hatching americauna eggs, and hopefully buff Orfington if they decide to start laying.

Got the rest of my shipped eggs today. They were packed insanely well and still got a slightly cracked egg lol Of them I got 6 Swedish Flower Hen Eggs, 11 good White Breese, two Mosiacs, 2 Brakels, 1 Blue Birchen Maran, and 1 Barbezieux.
Hopefully, I can get 4 -7 Breese to hatch. Would be happy with 2-4 SFH and the rest is just if it hatches it hatches lol
They will be going in the incubator tomorrow morning. The ones in the incubator are on day 5 currently. I'm more hoping the Breese hatch than anything else so won't be pushing the humidity up too high for "lockdown" for the first group. Probably push for 55% and hope for the best.

That’s a nice bunch of eggs. I successfully hatched a cracked Bielefelder egg by glueing the shell with new skin. It was cracked top to about middle but the membrane wasn’t punctured. The chick was almost the first out.

I thought about trying that it's a spiderweb puncture type crack where the air cell is, no leaking but don't think I have any glue that would be safe currently.

Clear nail polish will work also

Yep anything is with a try. And the smell of new skin is like super glue
