I did the same thing. Binge watched everything cause I was so excited. Just put ours in the incubator! Good luck with your hatch. We documented ours on our channel if you want to follow along. 🎉
A great video. However, I just want to let you know (my opinion), that incubator...really isn't that great. But you did have some success, which is great. Now the info you get with some incubators are not a science. The manuals that come with different ones, will give you different instructions concerning humidity and temps. Sometimes you have to find a middle ground. And as for 21 days...that is just what some guess at. Sometimes it is 20 days or 22 or 23 days. Depends on different factors. I could go into more details, and this old man, will just say...Well done, young lady ! Well done !
Thank you! I appreciate your comment. Honestly I'm not sure why I had day 21 in my head because I should have said that's the later end of when they could hatch. Day 19 is when they ended up hatching and I tried making notes in the video while I edited it to make sure whenever I said 21 the note would pop up saying day 19 instead. But I thank you for the insight! But yes that incubator I used it again after this video and only 4 out of 8 hatched so I'm not getting great results so I might try it one more time and maybe do a review on it/try another incubator and compare them. I liked the design of this one because I wanted the babies to be in a bin type hatching area so when I open the lid they didn't spill out on me lol I might try out a brinsea next though. Thank you again for commenting!!
You need to fiddle with it. You need to watch the gauge that tells you the humidity and just add and subtract to get the humidity where it needs to go. Rule of thumb humidity should be between 40-60% before day 18, then on day 18 bring up the humidity to above 60%. Hope that helps
Oh cool yeah from what I learned you need to monitor the humidity daily and the temp stayed pretty good. I couldn't get the Styrofoam on the bottom to come off without damaging the Styrofoam so I'm not sure if that helped or didn't
Unfortunately I don't have the ability or funds to do that just yet. If I end up having that ability I would like to do some give aways but unfortunately not at this moment. Sorry.
Thanks for sharing. I will be doing the same thing soon, so I've been binge-watching to make sure my experience is as seamless as possible.

Good luck to both of you!
Amazing explanation. Really helpful. I'm going to be hatching turkeys. No idea how to do it. And I'm not probably the right person to do it.
I don't have any experience with turkeys but I wish you luck!
I'm in australia so just about to start with a tiny incubator so thanks gives me confidence 🙌
@@michelletaylor4699 you're welcome! Happy hatching!!!
Great video, thanks for your service as well, i use my tan shirts throughout the day too when i get home from work 😆😆
yeah I routinely forget to change my tan shirt after work but thank you for your service as well!
Cool video, I'm actually intubating eggs currently. Just starting something in between myself.
Oh cool what eggs are you hatching?
They are cute ❤❤
The February many chickens become hens me i have a jasmine my best hen😊
Good upgrade
Thank you!

If you unplug the incubator then it wont beep when u set the eggs
I found out that if I push the minus button on it it stops beeping. I would rather it not be unplugged but that's not a bad suggestion.
Questions how much water

I have the same incubator

Temperatures..
I kept the temp the same throughout around 100°F
Please gift me incubator 😢
