Do I really have to leave them in there for 12 hours??? really???

It is Series 1200. I can only find info on the 1202 on their website. I emailed them hoping they have some directions in their archives. Because my dad can't remember everything about how Grandpa operated this one.

The one I have plugged in is working great. I noticed last night the one I haven't tried yet does NOT have the self turner, but when talking to my brother, he remembered there was a way to turn the eggs by sliding the bottom out somehow. I just don't want to turn 300 eggs by hand!

They also make hatchers I think, I'd have to do more research though, but maybe you have an incubator and a hatcher?

Interesting thought! um... I'll check their website and see what the differences are.

If they are all fluffed up you can put them in the brooder. I like to leave mine in there as long as I can to encourage the others to hatch.

Until they are completely dry and can move around good enough to be able to go in and out of the heat lamp in the brooder.

OK, It's 2 incubators. My dad says he used to hatch in both. I need to plug this other one in and see if it works.

Oh, good idea! One of them (I think the first one who hatched) has been very active, all over the incubator. He climbed up on the trays I have in there, and crawled across to the other tray. I think he was trying to get to the little one with the beak out who is peeping his heart out!
