millytheterrier 12 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Ive got one foxdigger, there good incubators, Ive always hatched plenty of chicks in mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blackdug 90 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 when you use one of these do you stop turning the eggs a few days before hatching .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
charlie nelly1 142 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 when you use one of these do you stop turning the eggs a few days before hatching .... if the incubator is manual and not automatic then usualy afew days before the hatch date you stop turning them, and if it is automatic with a rocker/cradel then it is to be switched of ytree days before, hop this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
