Here's my free bator:

i was wonder how well those lab incubators worked too. interesting to see them with eggs.

i'm thinking of buying some plans to make a cabinet bator for future hatching of larger amounts of eggs.

I am getting 4 eggs per day from 5 hens, its been extremely cold for AR the past few weeks.

I am hoping no power loss from this ice storm that is supposed to hit us about 2:00 or 3:00 tonight.

I'd put 7 eggs in the bator because I was afraid they'd go bad before my purchaser picked them up and 4 if them have development! I'll see what happens in a few more days with the rest. I'm just tickled that Some are developing after I figured they'd be no good with the spots they had on them. I'll be happy if some make it to hatch.

Well, I'm on day 5 and all I see are yolks (I think) is it something else or are they duds? I'm using a small LED flashlight that seems to light up my silkie eggs and tinted eggs pretty well.

If you turn the light on underneath your hand, can you see the light through your hand? If not, I would think that the light is not bright enough. Give it a few more days, you don't want to cull too early.

I can see the embryos dancing today. I am addicted to candling. I think I will skip tomorrow... maybe...

this sticky is great, with awesome pics for candling...
