Chickbator Hatching
incubating eggs?
does anyone else have the lil chick bator?
did you get posttive results or even a hatch?
I have a chickbator and i tried two duck eggs in it about a yr ago
i got both to develop
but one died at about day 5, the other about day 15
so i decided to try my luck again w/ 10 British Range coturnix Quail Eggs.
i got the chickbator to stay at a constant temperature of about 99-102 *F
so i figure that is good
also
the weather here is slightly humid, so the humidity generated by the water in there should be sufficient
well i just received the eggs from ebay
and none were cracked
let them get to room temp
and i just put them in
so i have to wait 17 days…
oh, btw
i believe the reasons my two duck eggs were that:
1) over enthusiastic and over candled the eggs
2) opening it to turn the eggs let out too much heat and allowed them to cool too much, so now i worked out a method of turning that doesnt require me to open it
do u think i will get a hatch?
wish me luck!
My mom bought an incubator and failed twice at hatching eggs,So I borrowed it from her and have hatched out three clutches of eggs in it.I hand turn mine so I dont think that you opening it to turn the eggs had anything to do with them not hatching.I think the reason moms didnt hatch was either cause of yhem being too close to the window or too close to the air vent.I put the incubator in a spare bedroom away from any windows and closed the airvent in the room.Like I said all three tries have produced chicks for me.Just be sure not to let the temp get too high,a lower temp is better than a temp thats too high.Also keep the water checked,if need be you can add humidity by adding a small damp sponge.Good Luck!
