In the Brooder
First of all, I'd like to make clear that Im not trying to advertise my stream or anything. I actually need advice/help.
Background:
I have a small farm with 1 goat, 3 pigs, a few ducks, geese, and 10-20 chickens.
This year I decided to buy an automatic incubator to hatch some chickens instead of buying them from the store...
22 days have passed and only 1 egg made a crack so far but after about 15 hours of breading and beeping it hasn't break the rest of the egg and seems to have stopped moving for the last 3 hours... (Egg number 11)
Only 2 other eggs (Eggs number 2 and 12) were seen moving/shaking...
I've had a few problems once or twice where the machine beeped because the temperature was too high. (40º C). didn't last more than 10 to 20 mins at that temp... I think the sensor was wet or something because I put too much water and kept going up past 40º C so I unplugged it about 10 times for 2 minutes to cool down to 37 and go back up to 38 on its own... (and then wasn't stopping at 38 so I kept unplugging) (eventually stopped)
Also: I've candled the eggs at day 18 (25 of January) and they looked all good minus 2:
(the recording)
Lastly here is the stream link if anyone wants to come by and help/discuss/take a look at what's going on:
My main question would be: are the eggs ok and I just need to wait for day 23, 24, 25, 26....? or they are done....?
If this post is against some rule I apologize and don't mind the forum owners removing it.
And thanks for all the help the forum already provided me as I was googling tuns of things and the forum kept showing up with answers! ❤
