Same. I wasn't going to lockdown until tomorrow but after the incubator bump last night I decided to stop turning this morning. They'll hit day 18 sometime tonight. I can't remember exactly what time they went in. Did a final candling and aircells, veining, movement look good. Even in the now cracked egg.

I still need to open the incubator to turn the eggs 2 days behind them. So I won't bump humidity until I see some signs of pipping. By then those other eggs should be ready to stop turning.

Really after day 14 you don't really have to turn anymore since the chicks are doing somersaults on their own by then lol.

Hey I wanted to know what incubater everyone is using am using the janoel 12 first time ever hatching eggs (in any incubater) I'm on day 5
99.5 F and 30-45% humidity

I currently have 2 Nurture Right 360s, an IncuView, a Hovabator, and soon to be a Brinsea Mini II Advance.

How well do they work

How well do they work

Nurture Right 360 is my favorite so far and works great! IncuView is my second runner up and is also a great incubator. Brinsea is expensive but I've heard from many many people that they make fantastic incubators so I'm confident it will join the rest in my favorite category. Many people like Hovabators and I think for the size and price point that it's a good incubator but isn't necessarily as easy to use for a beginner.

Me too! I just started a FB page a couple weeks ago myself! It’s called Lakeside Coop!

I’ll like yours too! I just made mine recently as well. I’m “The Olive Egg”.

I just did my first hatch in an incuview and loved it. I kept my humidity between 30-40% for the first 18 days.

Just added another half dozen + Ameraucanas to my Gypsy Hen order that ships next week because I have some people that want me to hatch for them. I’m going to have so many babies next month (hopefully) haha
