The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

Is my hova bator supposed to be totally silent

If it's still air, you usually only hear the click of the heat going on or off... turner motor is really quiet too, I can only hear it if I put my ear close to it... if it has a fan then it should hum...

So good too hear.  I was off for a while, missed your other question...sounds like you survived the heat in the car!  I couldn't have stayed in there.  Whew.

How long was the power out?   Happy for you, bet your eggs are doing fine.

it was out for just over 3 hours.

What model is it? Is it still air or does it have a fan?

The reason for the rubber band is b/c of the added weight & without it, the little arm pops out & won't turn. But the turner motor seems to be fine as long as there's a rubber band is there.

I know that spot next to the turner motor gets hotter, but mine usually still develop. This time I'll mark it when I transfer it to the hatcher & see if it hatches. But, thanks for the tip!

I missed this post. My Turner stopped turning. How did you fix it?

If the motor stopped working, then if needs to be replaced - egg turner motors easy to get on eBay & Amazon. But, check to see if the little arm is still in the "track". Mine would pop out when I double stacked it, but with a rubber band it's fine now.

This picture cracks me up. The chicks are giving me the look one would get when they walk up to a group of people having a deep conversation, which may or may not have your name involved.

They're cute! They remind me of my 3 girls when they were little!
