I just hatched 19 out of 25 eggs from CJ! My 1st time with a bator. I learned...DO NOT use a liner over wire. I COULD NOT get the humidity up for anything! Once I removed liner, it shot up. Also, I was putting water in the hole where the turner cord comes out instead of pouring through holes on top & watering eggs. I think some of the water ran UNDER the liner instead. Got humidty up just before they started pipping. Helped a few & they made it. 6 didn't make it, but I think that's a pretty good # for my 1st time. Will try to get pics if I can figure out how to attach them. Real beauties!

That is an amazingly great hatch percentage for anyone, but especially for your first time!

You should be very proud of yourself, you never know, you may just be a natural at it!!!
