Re: [CHICKENS-101] Little Giant incubator.

Well, I'm sorry that happened, Gina. Is it an old machine that perhaps needs new parts? Can the humidity in the machine and the reading on the guage differ?

I have eggs being hatched that should begin this coming Monday. Not my machine and I don't know what model GQF it is. I want a Genisis!

Well, after waiting three weeks for my eggs to hatch in my LG, I swear I will never use that darn thing again!!
Out of 17 eggs that all started developing, I only had four pip. The rest were all sucked up and dead. The humidity was correct all through the hatch and I had it at the proper temp and humidity the last three days.
The last time I used this incubator I had the same problem and just thought if I was very careful with it this time I would be OK.
Well, three made it and one is iffy but I had to help all of those.
I have hatched about 40 chicks so far this year, all in the Genesis 1588 so I guess that shows which one works and which one doesn't.
Some of those eggs were from new roosters too so now I have to try again in order to prove those.
