That’s a great question I’m actually not 100% sure… I never kept track I just filled it when the humidity dipped below ideal readings. I figured a broody hen would get up and eat once a day anyway so if it dipped slightly it wouldn’t be to detrimental. Next time we will have to keep track! I believe the instructions say port A should be half full so you could eyeball that as well.
Hi there! While you may leave the newly hatched chicks in the incubator for a day or so as the rest of the eggs hatch…. It is not suitable long term for a brooder. There’s not really enough room for bedding, food, water etc.
Only fill port A from day 1 until lockdown. During lockdown you fill both port A and port B. You can adjust the humidity with the little gray vent on the front of the lid.
I believe there is room for 22 regular sized chicken eggs, you can get a different grate for quail eggs and obviously fit quite a bit more because they are smaller. I’m not sure how Guinea eggs compare to chicken eggs in size but If they’re similar then I’d say you should have no problem fitting 22 in the grate. Yes there is an automatic turner!
@@thefulfilledlife9083 they said yes. I just saw one of two channels… One piled in middle…have to rotate 3-4 x a day (when candling some may be found infertile) Another placed an egg carton and took tray out…rotated 4x a day. Pointed side down, of course.
Thanks for your question! I don’t think it’s appropriate to mix different types of eggs as they all have their own humidity, temperature and incubation lengths. I’m unsure what the requirements for Geese are but I definitely recommend looking that up to ensure you have the most success possible! Best wishes!
Great job! Fluffy Butt is my hero!
Thanks for your support! She is a champ for sure! Thankful she lightened my work load! What a gal.
Your Chanel is really useful and give us inspiration
Thank you for speaking life over my channel. Your kind words and encouragement mean a lot. ♥️
Such a good edit Tina! Adorable! I love it :)
Thanks Liss, I appreciate the unwavering support!
Awesome! How often did you have to keep adding water to the ports?

Excellent video.
Can you use the incubator as a brooder?

Hi!
Thank you so much for the info
How do you keep the humidity below 55 everyday til lock day? Thanks

Where can a buy intubetor
Tractor Supply or Amazon. Nurture 360
Does it aromatic turn the eggs ? How many eggs does it have room for . I'm thinking about guinea eggs , they come up to 30 ( combined hens ) .

@@thefulfilledlife9083 Thank you for the information .
I saw one youtuber stacked some on top.
@@learnjcbskidsterchickensga7594 Ive never heard of that! Did it work?

Can we put geese eggs with the same times
