Just tried hatching for the first time. I think Im hooked. Really hooked!
Wish i had found this site long ago
I would appreciate any help that i can get.
Anyway i set 34 assorted eggs in a 1588 genesis incubator w/turner and followed the instructions. Out of the 34 eggs only 18 hatched.
2 late on day 20,13 on day 21 and 3 0n day 22.
Out of the 18, one had a deformed leg. It sticks out to the side, the rest are all ok.
Checked the temperature with an old fashion human mercury thermometer
on day 12 and it read 100.4?
Does this temp sound right?
I would like to set another batch but i would like to figure out why my hatch
rate was so low and i am worried that maybe the deformed leg was caused by to high a heat?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Mike
