Not sure how 6 more could have fit! Such an awesome experience.

My first hatch is over I believe. It started right after midnight yesterday. They hatched all day into the evening. I went to sleep with 2 eggs left. Woke to 1 egg left, no external pip. The egg smells but the whole incubator smells of the same stench. I just candled it and I can see only half...

That is so cool!! Thanks for sharing that pic!

First chick has arrived :wee

Mine have been doing external pips. There’s one that has poked through in the middle of the egg and a piece of shell has fallen off and I’m seeing red. Hoping for the best, if there’s a chance?

My eggs have started pipping!! So excited!

I know I didn’t overfill it. I added water slowly and never got it past 3/4 full. Perhaps the cabinet isn’t level but I used to have a saltwater tank on it in the past and was level. Seems more like condensation has been gathering around the hole? Irregardless, I just want to be sure it’s not...

I have moisture coming out of the bottom vent hole on the base left side, if facing it. Is this normal? I have water on the table.

Sweet!! :love

I did remove the turner and put down some shelf liner. I’m a bit nervous about the air cells not positive they are big enough but they have continually grown. Fingers crossed and thanks for all your help!

My humidity bounced between 49-51. I candled a couple of extra times since it was a learning experience, still is! I also have a notebook, pencils, a magicfly light and a flashlight. I candled in the same room as the incubator and realized if I covered the top of bat or I could see even better...

I started my incubator about 3:00pm, March 11th. If March 12th makes 1 day, then today will be lockdown and rotator should stop itself at 3:00? The timer say d-04 right now. So this afternoon I should raise humidity if I’m timing this correctly? I candled all the eggs yesterday evening from the...

I’m on my first hatch also. I’ve had some hiccups and the people here have been more than helpful. Best of luck to you!

I think she just started staying on her nest today. I’ve spent a lot of time out back the last few days since the weather is better and she’s stayed with us. She got off the nest and there are 18 eggs! And there is no way I could pick and choose which to keep, don’t have the heart for that. When...

I was filling mine halfway and it worked just fine for a few days then it went wacky! I did as advised here and started filling side A all the way (B should be empty) and opened the vent completely. Now it has stabilized around 50. I think my problem came from our humidity outside which has...

So place her and a “very few” of her eggs back in a nesting box within the coop? I wouldn’t want all of those eggs to possibly hatch along with what I have in the incubator. If I have to wait for her eggs to hatch they may be a week or two younger than the ones I place with her. I will...

Hope this post is ok to put here. my eggs are due to hatch March 4th. I have a blended question I guess you could say. I have one pullet/hen that always goes over the fence. She visits us daily on the porch and my flower beds. She is an Amber Star from McMurray so she’s a cross, we have 3...

You would think with surface size of water not changing there wouldn’t be an increase in humidity. Today it would be as high as 57 so I opened the vent more as RaineyTN suggested and then it would go down. I don’t understand how more water is causing this to happen but I don’t know what else...

Thanks for the info. I am filling it completely today and will monitor it all day. This is my first ever hatch and it seemed to be going so well until this,.but glad at the same time because it is a learning and info gathering experience.
