The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

[Glaseria]

I'M SO EXCITED & I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT!!!

I've never done this before and after a lot of pondering over info on incubators and pros and cons of each model my Hubby allowed me to buy our first hatchery set up!!!
We bought a tub brooder with light (still looking into a different heat source for ducklings and quail chicks), we also bought an Incuview Deluxe Kit which included the IncuBright candler and also bought an additional IncuTherm like the reviews recommended. I've been SO EXCITED that I've called the wearhouse to see when it would leave after we ordered it and then checking its progress via mail tracking almost every 5mins!!!!

At least the first few days, now I'm down to once an hour or so.

Pathetic I know and yes I know it will not arrived sooner then it will regardless of how many times I scour for updates but I can't help it! LIFE IS BEING DELIVERED!!!

Supposedly it can hold Quail eggs up to Goose eggs and Every egg in between!

This Candler is reported to see even into the darkest and thickest of egg shells!

I'm SO Excited for this new adventure!

We shall have to wait and see how everything turns out!

We will be starting it up as soon as it arrives and doing a trial run with our quail eggs before we do our First and Official Hatch-A-Long run with our duck eggs!

Sincerely,
Your Fellow Homesteader,

Cool! I'm using an incutherm. Works great. I also have an incubright, It's works good, but I like my Magicfly better, because it's a bit brighter.

Amerucanas , I hatch all other breeds just fine... But I'll keep trying. have new roosters again.

I have 4 of them  I love them  Will never go back to light bulbs.   The chicks learn to sleep at night and seem so much happier with their fake mama.  You will be happy I'm sure!

What do you use now? I'm looking into a different option for heating my ducklings in the tub brooder set up we have. I would love to ditch the light!

I'd love to not use a lamp but since I hatch in large numbers especially for the layers I dont want to buy the big one. If i get more into breeding i will probably buy a small ecoglow

The premier1 Brooder plates are better built and are less expensive.

Check them out!

Wow still $76 for a 50 chick bator, I will stick with my lamps for this year

They pay for themselves in energy savings but you have to hatch several times a year for that to kick in.

Quote: They're bigger than an ecoglow that's supposed to cover the same amount of chicks, too. I haven't even used mine yet and I'm glad you suggested it over the past several EHALs.

Eventually, id like to get a few brooder plates. It will harken someday but or of my budget right now. I'm throwing everything I've got in to building breeding pens lol
