Not sure if my hovabator genesis 1588 did a good job with turning eggs...will post the result in about 5 days

Well, I probably should have watched more closely or did some hand turning..., but I saw that the egg ended up slanted?
also am worried the one white egg right there may not have been turned much at all. I often still see the number 2 I wrote ont he one white egg face up. But maybe it turned a little bit?

And maybe I should put the eggs more closely together? I didnt know exactly what to do so I in general spread them out a bit but it probably doesnt matter.


Thanks for the concern, my first attempt to try to hatch anything.

That looks nothing like the turner I have for my 1588, but I've had mine several years. Maybe they have changed. But that also does not look like the photos I found online. Do you have a link to that specific turner so I can look at it?

Mine is yellow and you put the eggs in pointy side down. 6 rows of 7 eggs. This link should lead you to a photo.

I think its doing ok, this incubator is the 1588 but with a different type of egg turner. Borrowed from a friend of mine.

Going to be interesting, mostly trying this out for the educational experience.

How does it turn the egg if it is pointy side down? thats kind of cool

They rock back and forth very slowly.
