I'm no expert, I've only incubated once. But everything I have read suggests to stop turning them at day 18, so they can get in the right position to hatch. Did you open up any of the eggs to see what happened inside? Could also be a temp or humidity issue...

How could I forget!? Not much time for fun photos, we had a cold snap and power outage, so I was rigging up the generator, and heating pads to keep the babies going. They all did great!

Update: Super impressed with the 360! I’m a first time incubator, and I only had to make one minor temp adjustment out of the box and it was good to go. Started with 21 eggs, six unfertilized, one early quitter, and one pipped much later, and struggled for 36 hours. I assisted, partially to...

It was an olive egg, and really hard to see inside, but didn’t look nearly as developed as the others. Maybe an early quitter? But maybe just hard to see. Good luck, it goes fast! Hopefully I’m back with positive updates in the next few days. Edit: sus = suspicious, as my kids say.

Today is day 20 of our first ever hatch, and I’m a nervous wreck haha. 14 looked good going into lockdown and one was sus, but I left it just in case. Humidity is holding at 69. Just waiting to hear those internal pips!

Good luck! Hope it’s a great hatch! I candled 21 eggs tonight (day 9 or 10) and had three unfertilized, one with a potential blood ring that I made a note to keep an eye on, five that were dark enough I couldn’t see what was happening and 12 that were active and looked great!

Sorry no, I just run mine at 100, knowing it’s a little cooler than it says. It’s also our first ever incubation, so we aren’t the ones to ask haha. First Candling day 9 tonight though! I’m excited to see what is going on in there!

80?! That seems way off! Mine was between .5 and 1 degree off, so I bumped it to 100 and it seems like its holding well.

I appreciate it! I have the paper manual next to it on the table, but wasn't thinking about it clearly haha. It is a pretty neat little machine, temp and humidity seem stable, they turn smoothly. This is my first ever time incubating, and I will do my first ever candling this weekend and see...

Seeing it in that context was helpful! If I just push the menu button it shows 18, which should be right as I loaded them in after supper which would be day 0. I was holding it in and it showed 21, but that is just the setting.

Question for the brain trust! When I hold down menu, and it flashes the option to change temp or to change day, it still shows D-21 even though they went in four days ago. Is that just letting me know its on a D-21 schedule? Or does it still think its the first day? Just want to make sure when I...

Thank you! I will post updates! I talked my wife in 6-8 chickens, and now we are incubating 21 eggs, lol. I think that's called chicken math?

Just a mix of random chicken eggs, likely some copper Marans and americaunas, but mostly mixed. My wife wanted a colourful array of eggs.

It really is a pretty slick system! My calibrated thermometers have the unit as just slightly cooler than it thinks it is, so I bumped it to 100 and my thermometers say it’s 99.4. So, close enough I think…? I’m a huge nerd, so I’m going to move one of my security cameras from the pond (it’s...

Thanks everyone! I'm at school, but my wife is watching for the delivery, we are excited!

Are these pretty much ready to go out of the box? Mine is arriving tomorrow, and we are eager to get started. I am setting it up in a warm, spare bedroom with no direct light or drafts. I was planning to play with it, figure out how it all works, then run it for a day to confirm it holds temp...
