I was just gifted a new incubator a hatch right 360. I have been using a Chinese incubator for incubating. Down sides have been having to monitor temps like a hawk, plus it has insanely complicated ways to set it because you have to decode it all.

I am in mid-incubation of a set of Black East Indie Duck eggs on day 18.

This is what they look like today. Would you move them to this new incubator which is a side turning incubator from the Chinese incubator which is an upright turn incubator this late in the game? Also I am thinking 11 quit on me as it has absolutely no veins in it whatsoever.
 
Run the new incubator a couple of days before moving the eggs, so you get used to it and figure out any kinks. Check temps and humidity with at least two thermometers and hygrometers. I had a brand new expensive machine be 0.4 C wrong, so don't trust the thermometer that follows the machine before you check it and double check it...

And yeah, 11 looks dead. :(
