That is so awesome you are going to love it and even more you're going to love all the little baby chicks that pop out One big tip that I don't know if I sit in any of the videos but you definitely want to know Even after the 21 days don't be quick to throw the eggs away I would let the eggs sit an extra day or two there's always one that's a little late I felt so bad I was throwing eggs in the trash one day and I'll send her tweeting and I ran to put them all back in and shut it and keep it going the next morning another one popped out. If I didn't hear his tweets he would not have made it. Thank you so much for watching and commenting Nicole do not hesitate to stop in and leave a comment on any one of my videos if you have any questions or need any help with anything. Happy anniversary You're going to love your present and when the baby chicks start popping out it's going to be even funner. You have a great evening
@@TsquareTalk That's great advice! I'm glad you were able to save the one. I'm actually incubating duck eggs right now. I checked a couple of days ago and 4 of the 10 are looking great! I am going to check them again today since it's been 7 days. After this round of ducks eggs is done (21 days to go) I am going to start on chick eggs. They are a little faster than duck eggs so it won't take as long. The machine works amazing and because of your video, I knew exactly what I was doing. It was almost too easy lol. Thank you again for being so detailed and taking the time to make the video. It is very much appreciated.
Awesome info!! Thank you! I just got this incubator from a friend. I’m starting my first round today!! I’ll look into your other tips videos. My kids are super excited... homeschooling! Happy hatching!!
Ohh you are going to love it. Especially if your home schooling kids it's gonna be such a fun project to do hopefully yours comes with a candler flashlight so you can actually watch them grow inside the eggs. If you would keep in touch and let me know how it turns out you can post a comment about your results on any video even if it's one of the newer ones because the new video comments I read more often. Sometimes I miss old videos comments because I have a lot of video. Thank you for watching and commenting Heather.
First let me start by apologizing and never seeing this comment It only came up now that I am using an app that goes back and finds all the comments on my 1700 videos that I have missed over the years. Better late than never. By this point I bet you have a really impressive flock of chickens Elaine. And judging by the timing that you probably did very well having plenty of eggs and chicken when no one else did. Personally I'm expecting to see a major issue coming down the line with more food issues as a lot of the crops in the US have been wiped out due to freak weather A lot of the grains not not planted or destroyed due to the issues overseas in the breadbasket of the world. Let me know how your chicken flock is doing I'm always cure yes. If you do reply reply in a new comment that way I will see it right off this app that I'm using only catches new comments it does not catching replies. Thank you so much for watching and commenting Elaine.
15 out of 19 is good. But it is that time of the year again to put in more eggs and get even better turn out this time. Thank you for watching and commenting Orlando.
TSquare we talked yesterday. My temp and humidity are out of whack. I called Farm Innovators and spoke to a lady she told me to do a hard reset. To do this take the lid off and did connect the temp probe and the humidity probe. Wait about 3 minutes and reconnect wires and start it up again. She said this should help. Not worry about it so much. I am going to do this while I candle the (7 day eggs)tonight. So fingers crossed I have good luck. I have Dark Brown Eggs so it harder to candle these eggs. Thanks for your help!!
Yeah anytime you have questions I was trying to help people because I think it's really cool that people do this and create something with food prices on the rise once you get these up and running you'll actually have eggs and a good source of protein if things were ever to get extremely difficult. Definitely keep me posted on how everything comes out and if it's your first time and it don't pan out don't get discouraged. I may be breaking mine out and getting it up and running as spring is pretty much upon us.
TSquare as I told you o would give you a updated report. 14 out of the 18 eggs incubated hatched and are thriving.. I had 1 egg not fertile . 3 eggs I had a question of alive on day 14 candling. I left them in till Day 22 and used warm water and they sank. Deposed of them. So We had a 78% hatch rate!! I am so happy!! Thank you for your video and all your help.
@@PLJS2018 that is great I think you did phenomenal and I know there's so much fun I want to break mine out and start hatching them again I think because it's been a while. Now what I would do if I was you I would clean it out fill it again and restart the process. And then a couple days after the new ones hatch if you don't need them I would use them to trade with other people for barter or I would sell them off and get your money back. This is a super easy item to actually make money with in my opinion because anybody will pay you $2 per chick. If you paid $150 for your incubator you incubate out 75 chicks at $2 a piece and you essentially have no money in there. So then you didn't make no money but you didn't lose any money on the whole process. Which is a great place to be. But I know some people don't worry about it because they know just buying the baby chicks would have cost $4.50 each at tractor supply. Thank you so much for the great update. And still don't hesitate to keep in touch.
@@crystalklein2660 Yes you can use it for duck eggs or chicken eggs there is actually a different turner for quail legs even. This is the perfect time of the year to pull out your farm innovators and get working using it. Especially where eggs are in short supply in most of the country this is an opportunity to guarantee you'll have yours when you need them by raising chickens or ducks. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Hi Tsquar talk it's my first time incubating eggs. Im very excited to start hatching eggs. What number should I keep a consistent rate for my humidity level? Thanks!
Hi! Is a perfect and clear Info; thanks! Interesting the comment about the eggs...mire oval will be ruster 🧐Just l put 35 eggs; trust on God we have a lot baby chikens 🙏
I just happened to see this comment now thank you so much for your great comment Elizabeth. I am curious now I saw you put 35 in a year ago hopefully you got plenty of baby chicks I'm curious are you eating free eggs every morning now. 🙂🥚🍳🐔
Yes this is the model I have. I left a comment on your last video, but this is the one your other one is slightly different. Hey I heard you say south Texas. I am in Karnes City and I got my eggs from Floresville, Stockdale and Beeville from friends and family and I will be getting some from Alice and possibly Orange Grove. Don't know if you are around these parts but glad you make these videos.
I have actually worked in most of them pet towns at 1 time or another I live in Corpus Christi right now but I do move around a lot. Thank you for watching and commenting Eric. Keep in touch my friend.
How did it go Marion?? I am excited to know. I love hearing people's stories about how happy they were with the product. Thank you for watching and commenting. Please hit the subscribe button and keep in touch.
Awesome I think you will love this product Jose. If you sell the babies chicks it will more than pay for itself in my opinion. Thank you for watching and commenting keep in touch.
Thank you so much for leaving such a nice comment. Did you just get a farm innovators incubator? I hope you have a great results with it. I will be producing more videos on this topic in the upcoming weeks so please be sure to hit that subscribe button and keep in touch If you have any questions about yours don't hesitate to shoot me a comment and let me know. I think you're going to be really happy with your incubator Marc. Also thank you for watching and commenting Mark St Louis.
Hi! I've got the same incubator. Last year I tried hatching some duck eggs to no avail. I am about to try it again tonight with some chicken eggs. Thanks for all the tips. Greetings from Baja California.
Hi i finished looking at your video right now and thank you so much for all the great information. Its my first time doing this and i had a question what is the humidity level range have to be at? For best results! I know the temperature has to be at between 99.5-100 but the humidity I'm not sure... Also in the last 3 days what humidity level does it have to raise up to? Sorry for all the questions 😅 hopefully I can hear from you soon 🙏 thank you.
I purposely held this comment back for roughly 21 days because right now you're probably having baby chickens popping out I'm hoping I'm right and that you had great results I believe you did. I'm really excited to hear how you did. And you don't need to apologize for questions everybody asks questions. And anything I can do to help I'm more than willing to. Thank you for watching and commenting Julia Lara. Keep in touch my friend and let me know how you did. 🐣🐤🐥👍🙂
We just set 67 eggs total between two incubators. I have seen that my temp is off a little so I have to set it a little higher than 99.5.... I do struggle with the humidity but I'm going to use your tape technique and see if that'll resolve it! Will update
Yes it worked for me let me know what happens. Take a quick minute and hit that subscribe button and keep in touch I try to reply back to comments within a day or two. If that don't work I would consider grabbing yourself a little spray bottle make sure it's totally clean put some water in it and just lift the incubator open a crack and put a squirt in there on mist setting. But don't do that too too often.
I would be willing to bet you're going to have a lot of chicks. And the humidity doesn't have to be perfect anyway I have mine sometimes run low sometimes it runs high and I still get a decent turnout. I expect you would do really well too because they are starting to have a chicken shortage because of the new bird flu. Once chickens test positive they have to kill the whole flock which is why egg prices are going through the roof and soon chicken prices will go through the roof too. Definitely keep in touch and if you have any questions just let me know you can pretty much write a comment on any video and I'll see you.
I see a lot of discussion about humidity and people struggling with it. In the past few months I've stumbled across articles and videos about a "dry incubation method" to increase hatch rates...and simplify things. (Almost sounds kinda counterintuitive but sounds like it works great.) There are a few variations of it but the general jist of it is to not use water and just go with ambient humidity (~25 -40%), depending on where you live (if you're in Arizona or Nevada or similar you might still have to use some water to get 25%). Most of the articles and videos I seen say to do this til lock down then raise the humidity to ~50% - 70% for hatching. A few have even said no water for any of it...just ambient humidity all the way... Do your own research and decide for yourself. I have not tried it yet but am very curious and eager to test it once I'm in a setting to raise chickens again. Another tip for improving hatch rates lately is gently rinsing your eggs in a 3%-6% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution. Most off the shelf drugstore H202 is 3%. Have it at room temp or slightly warmer (like 80°) not cold). The theory as I understand it is the h2o2 cleanses the outside of the shell and reduces any bacteria from entering the eggs. Also possibly increase the O2 level in the egg. Again, do your own research. The process is even patented...lol...search it. I've been curious if adding h2o2 to the water in the bottom (when and if you use water would increase O2 saturation and help the embryo/chick...kinda give it a boost like hyperbaric chamber treatment...lol 🤷🏼♂️ Will experiment with it one of these years...
Im in the desert and I have setup a humidifier next to the incubator because I cant even maintain the 50% required for the first days. I am concerned how im gunna get it up to 75% at day 3. Any ideas? I was going to try a mist or put a bowl of water.
Me personally I don't think I would use the hydrogen peroxide idea only because I try to do it 100% natural. And with the other idea I've never tried that but it would be something I would be curious to try I have not been doing much with the chickens lately only because I got so big in the farming and prepping but after having a strange outbreak of something in my chicken coop where I lost a lot of my chickens I may be considering starting them up again I would be curious to try the low humidity idea.
Yes I have heard this before in some areas where there is almost no humidity it can be difficult to maintain the humidity up high the only thing I could would say is to keep the trays full of water and remember that humidity is measured based off surface area which means putting a wet sponge in there or something like that could end up helping.
Can you tell me if quail sized eggs will fit into these trays, or would i HAVE to purchase the quail sized trays. Trying to avoid the extra cost if I dont need to spend it on the other trays.
So they do make a quilt sized egg and I think quail eggs would be a little too small to fit in there however would that being said I'm convinced that you could jerry rig a tray to make it work. That would save you some money but it would require a little bit of thinking outside the box. But if you're anything like me I'd rather save a little money. Thank you for watching and commenting rbljackson
Flip no you never want to flip always keep the pointy end down otherwise you would drown the baby chicken there cuz he starts developing upright and you want to keep him developing the same way with slight movement but that's what the rotator is for. Yeah there's always going to be people out there that leave bad reviews on everything it doesn't matter what it is. But a lot of the cases is operator error. I find out a lot of stuff from just reading the comments on these type of videos.
I had one person one night couldn't figure out why her incubator wasn't working turns out she didn't have a rooster all she had was female hands and none of her eggs were hatching I had to explain that it's like people you need both a male and a female yes a female chicken will lay an egg but it will not be a fertilized egg so it will never hatch.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Dean please hit that subscribe button and definitely keep in touch. I can't wait to hear how they turned out for you and if at first you don't have a perfect success rate that's okay just try again and we'll figure it out. If you have any troubles feel free to stop in on a live stream in the evening and just ask a question I usually get to all the comments at the end of the show.
Hey! Quick question for you if you don't mind? My incubator has been in operation for about a day now and there is water in the tray. But, why is my humidity level still in the high 70's. How do I get it to drop? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I apologize for some reason I never seen this comment until now By opening the plugs on the top it should lower your humidity level. I have to ask how did you do I love hearing positive stories about people raising chickens. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I’m having the same issue, humidity 70% + …I unplug the two red thingy and still doesn’t drop. I will update you guys back at the end of the month to see the results.
I'm convinced you'll still have a decent hatch rate even if you're humidity is running high. Obviously optimal numbers are best but mother nature has a way of working things out. But definitely leave a comment let us know how things worked out for you. When you do leave a comment leave it under a new feed like a new comment not under someone else's comment That way it will be a guarantee that I will see it right off. The app that I use will not always show people's replies to other people's comments but it will always show me new comments that are posted. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Good luck and I hope you have a great results.
In the directions it says to sanitize the eggs and your hands. Is that telling me to wash them?? First time doing this. Trying out runner ducks. I always thought that you didn't wash them until your ready to eat them. That bacteria can get in after they've been washed. Sorry if it's a silly question 😅 but I have no clue what I'm doing 😬
The only silly question is a question that someone don't ask. I'd never read that in their instruction manual but from my experience you never ever wash your eggs otherwise exactly what you said bacteria can get in the pores which you don't want. With that being said I would make sure you don't have any fecal matter on them from the chickens but assuming your eggs are in Hay or in wood chips they shouldn't be super dirty if you have one that's really dirty I probably would not even use that egg. I would just wash it and use it for breakfast. Also like I said there's no silly questions if you have any questions at all please hit that subscribe button and just ask on any of my videos I try to get back to all the comments. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment Megan you have a great day.
The environment is pretty contained with very little ventilation, you will just have to check the humidity onscreen once a day and add water as needed.
Yes and remember higher humidity is based off of water surface area so if needed you can put a little tray of water underneath the screen this will really keep your humidity higher. Here in Texas I only have to do it certain times of the year. I apologize for missing this comment until now it's hard to catch every comment on every video. Thank you for watching and commenting.
My humidity will not drop below 50 degrees. I even poured some of the water out. This was when I was setting up. I did wait the 8 hours but went ahead and put eggs in today.
If you want to lower your humidity a little bit just take one of the plugs out if not take both of the plugs out if you want to raise it put the plugs back in if you happen to lose the Orange plugs on top just put a piece of tape over it. Thank you for watching and commenting Christy. Hit that subscribe button and keep in touch. Let me know how you do you did the right thing just put the eggs in a little secret I don't tell many people I have in sometimes not even waited the 8 hours only because this incubator is so awesome it will adjust real quick. Only mistake I'm hearing from a lot of people is there not filling it up with eggs fill it up all the eggs in all the spots. Don't forget come back and let me know how you did.
I got this model and I’ve been having trouble with the hatch my chicks 🐥 have problems in there feet don’t know where I’m failing I have tried 5 times and same problem every time just a couple of chicks 🐥 can stand
If you set the temperature too high, high enough that they hatch one day earlier than expected, can cause a lot of foot/leg problems. I'd turn your temperature down one-half of a degree and see if that helps.
At most I will just rinse off my eggs. Sometimes I just brush them off and put them in. If there is a lot of debris on the eggs and I have to rinse them off I will. Thank you for watching and commenting Millie.
My candler didnt fit the batteries it needed. It also didnt work once we were able to shove the batteries in. The styrofoam inside is hard to clean and the 10 holes on the bottom made a huge mess when I tried to take it to the sink to clean.i have had good success rates but i expect those rates to decrease as the styrofoam continues to get nasty.
Yes I'm not sure why they put the holes on the bottom I'm guessing it has something to do with airflow. I have seen someone caulk those holes up and still have good hatch. I am super happy with my hatch rates even over the years it still works great. I actually just hatched out another 20 something. I put a lot of wear and tear on mine and I still have pretty good rates. I never had any trouble with my Candler. How many chickens do you have if you don't mind me asking? Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@TsquareTalk we have about 20ish adults. Not all of them sleep in the coop so counting is hard. This year 3 have been hatched by mommas, and 27 in the incubator.
I've never done it but you probably can I just use warm running water. Thank you for watching and commenting Renjo. don't forget to hit that subscribe button and keep in touch with any questions or updates I love to hear about other people's experiences.
You should just be able to remove the red cover caps or depending on how far along just open the whole top for about 5 seconds 10 seconds and the humidity will come out the temperature will go down also but it will raise the temperature backup really quick however the water will be let out. Do not do this if you are in the last 3 days. What is the actual humidity number showing? If you do see this comment reply back in a new comment so it will show up I don't always see continued comments. I am testing out an app right now to help me keep up with all new comments.
I happen to do mostly Rhode Island reds only because Rhode Island reds will lay on average one egg a day. However approximately 4 months ago something happened and all my chickens started getting sick They all passed away except for 5 of the remaining five none of them laid eggs anymore 2 months after that I got rid of them fixing to start over from scratch if I can find a good source of eggs with the right kind of chickens that I want. Hopefully you did well and you're swimming in eggs right now with these high egg prices. By now you're probably the egg mother at 6 or 7 bucks a dozen. And I believe prices are only going to get worse We might see a pull back in the short run but I don't believe inflation's over yet. Sorry I just seen this comment with 1,500 videos I don't always catch every comment. But I'm now using an app to help me find comments that I have not replied to. Just trying to do 50 or 60 a day till I get caught up 😂. You have a great week Elaine keep in touch my friend.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Alba. Please hit that subscribe button so if you decide to try this out I would love to know how it worked out for you.
At 1st or 1st year of operations You will barely hear it however as time goes on years later you will start to hear it the more you use it but I don't really think its the fan I think it's the egg Turner rubbing up on the case so possibly just check if it's fitting in their just right the rotating motor has to be in a specific corner of the Box.
I apologize I actually just seen this comment I now have an app that shows me every comment that I've never replied to. I think you will be all right only because I'm actually in South Texas pretty much just on the American side of the border. I know it's been a while but I'm curious to hear how it worked out for you Hopefully you got a good hatch rate. And it could really pay off for you because egg prices are skyrocketing right now. And this winter we're expecting more food shortages. Thank you so much for watching and commenting Angel Ramirez
Yeah I made like 40 videos on this. Going through all the ins and the outs stuff that we learned stuff that didn't really match up with what the book said. Trial and error is the best. Little tips like we leave the egg turner in the machine We just unplug it and we had our best hatch rates when we did that. It's a little more work cleaning it but it's worth it to have more chickens at the end. As for humidity it's really hard to keep the humidity at a set number but You will be surprised how many will still hatch even if the humidity is not always what it's supposed to be at. Life is precious but it's also resilient. There's one thing I learned while hatching almost 500 chickens It's that the world's not always going to be perfect and neither will these machines but nature will run its course and most of the time you'll still do really well. It does help to have increased humidity on the last 3 days but if you practice this and using this you will find that almost no to hatch cycles will be the same.

I would try unplugging it for a minute and then replugging it back in and if you have to hold down the buttons. Good luck. Thank you for watching and commenting Jacob.
I just happened to see this comment recently a little late but when you try again I would plug more of the holes if they didn't hatch. If they did hatch then I hate to say I would probably ignore the 35 humidity because it could be something off on a setting if the Box got dropped or something.
21 days on average plus or minus one. They say that is based off the time they go in the incubator however I kind of believe it is semi-based off the time that it's been laid. But I'm not 100% sure on that because I have had some from the first of the month that I put aside second of the month that I put aside the third of the month that I put aside and they hatched in that order even though they all went in the incubator at the same time. Thank you for watching and commenting
Yeah don't let me convince you it happens all the time it is extremely rare to get 42 out of 42 but a high 30s 37 38 is not unrealistic. It just takes time to learn all the tricks. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I've never seen that happen ever I've never even heard of that happening however I would still if it was me run it and let it see if the chickens hatch worst case scenario you'll be out some eggs best case scenario it still works fine and you're just getting faulty readings. Some of the incubators come with a thermometer have you tried putting the thermometer in there and checking if it's really jumping because I can't understand how it could jump like that that quick unless it is just a digital reader problem. As always thank you for watching and commenting Connor. Please don't forget to take a minute and hit that subscribe button and keep in touch I try to reply to all the comments at least every week.
Humidity can run high but it does not mean the eggs won't hatch. I am really curious how they turned out Kevin. If you see this comment let me know what happened. Thank you for watching and commenting. Please keep in touch my friend.
I couldn't get the humidity up past 50, filling both sides, I had to use a humidify and hose it in for extra humidity. So far working pretty good, finger crossed it last the whole 21 days now! I think the filling pan needs to be a bit deeper!
Wow I never seen that happen I've seen the humidity run low but never 22. I just ran mine with the lower humidity and it still worked. But like I said I never had my humidity at 22. Thank you for watching and commenting.
It runs about $139 but that price can vary a little bit from place to place. However if you're gonna buy a bunch of baby chicks it's a whole lot cheaper to go this route in my opinion and then you still have something afterwards that you can keep using year after year or resell for a little bit less than you bought it for.

Yeah anytime you see the light blinking that should tell you it's either hot or cold basically the temperature is out of parameters. Thank you for watching and commenting P N
Yeah I actually put that to the test one time where I put all round eggs in thinking that maybe I would get all hands and that did not happen so that was how I knew that that was just a tall tale. It has to be something with the bird and the way it is that day or something. Thank you for watching and commenting P N
Yeah unfortunately the bad thing about manuals haven't written manuals for different stuff before is a lot of the stuff is copied and pasted. And the people that write the manuals in general are not always actively using the equipment. Thank you for watching and commenting P M
this incubator is a piece of shit right out of the box. both red pulgs missin, no egg candler and have had it plugged in for hours the turning just hums like a womans vibrater. awsome product...NOT!!!
The red plugs are probably still in the wrapping paper in the box They do fall out if it's tipped over I will say it's easy to lose the red plugs unfortunately As for the egg candler not all models come with an egg candler. In fact most incubators you have to buy the egg candler separately but for a while they were including them for free. But I've also heard of people opening them up at the store and stealing them. As for the vibrator I mean the egg turner You're not going to notice it move Just to go from one side to the other It takes 4 hours. We're not trying to give the baby chicks whiplash we're just trying to gently turn them so the yolk don't stick on the inside of the egg. But I thank you for watching this video and I hope you enjoyed the video at least. Now what I would do I would either call the company and ask them if they can just drop two of the red plugs in an envelope and mail it to you or take even take it back to wherever you bought it from If you just bought it they should be more than willing to replace it and swap it out with a new one. Or I would load it up and let it run and see what happens in 21 days. I think you will be extremely satisfied once all them baby chicks are popping out. But not as satisfied as when they grow up and they're spitting out your eggs everyday for breakfast. Nothing beats walking out in the morning grabbing some eggs and making a four egg omelette from scratch. You make a good homemade fresh omelet for your woman she is going to forget all about that vibrator. She going to be over there every night just for breakfast in the morning. With all that being said thank you for watching and commenting please take a quick minute hit that subscribe button and keep in touch Douglas. You have a great week.
I hope it helps, I have a whole playlist of different videos using this incubator so if you got one and you have any trouble I answer a lot of the common questions in those videos.

Great video! My husband got me this incubator for our anniversary a couple days ago and this video was very informative.
That is so awesome you are going to love it and even more you're going to love all the little baby chicks that pop out One big tip that I don't know if I sit in any of the videos but you definitely want to know Even after the 21 days don't be quick to throw the eggs away I would let the eggs sit an extra day or two there's always one that's a little late I felt so bad I was throwing eggs in the trash one day and I'll send her tweeting and I ran to put them all back in and shut it and keep it going the next morning another one popped out. If I didn't hear his tweets he would not have made it. Thank you so much for watching and commenting Nicole do not hesitate to stop in and leave a comment on any one of my videos if you have any questions or need any help with anything. Happy anniversary You're going to love your present and when the baby chicks start popping out it's going to be even funner. You have a great evening
@@TsquareTalk That's great advice! I'm glad you were able to save the one. I'm actually incubating duck eggs right now. I checked a couple of days ago and 4 of the 10 are looking great! I am going to check them again today since it's been 7 days. After this round of ducks eggs is done (21 days to go) I am going to start on chick eggs. They are a little faster than duck eggs so it won't take as long. The machine works amazing and because of your video, I knew exactly what I was doing. It was almost too easy lol. Thank you again for being so detailed and taking the time to make the video. It is very much appreciated.
Awesome info!! Thank you! I just got this incubator from a friend. I’m starting my first round today!! I’ll look into your other tips videos. My kids are super excited... homeschooling! Happy hatching!!
Ohh you are going to love it. Especially if your home schooling kids it's gonna be such a fun project to do hopefully yours comes with a candler flashlight so you can actually watch them grow inside the eggs. If you would keep in touch and let me know how it turns out you can post a comment about your results on any video even if it's one of the newer ones because the new video comments I read more often. Sometimes I miss old videos comments because I have a lot of video. Thank you for watching and commenting Heather.
Hey from Georgia!!! Just got my 4250 from my honey for Christmas. This is an awesome video; thank you for making things easy to understand.
First let me start by apologizing and never seeing this comment It only came up now that I am using an app that goes back and finds all the comments on my 1700 videos that I have missed over the years. Better late than never.
By this point I bet you have a really impressive flock of chickens Elaine. And judging by the timing that you probably did very well having plenty of eggs and chicken when no one else did. Personally I'm expecting to see a major issue coming down the line with more food issues as a lot of the crops in the US have been wiped out due to freak weather A lot of the grains not not planted or destroyed due to the issues overseas in the breadbasket of the world. Let me know how your chicken flock is doing I'm always cure yes. If you do reply reply in a new comment that way I will see it right off this app that I'm using only catches new comments it does not catching replies. Thank you so much for watching and commenting Elaine.
in my first experience I took out 15 chickens of 19 eggs and we are now 5 days away from my 2nd, good product, I recommend it
15 out of 19 is good. But it is that time of the year again to put in more eggs and get even better turn out this time. Thank you for watching and commenting Orlando.
Tsquare Talk quick question do you trust the readings or should I get a thermometer just in case
@@cristianbasulto7229 This is what I was wondering.
And I live in MN but am from Southeast Texas. Beaumont/Kountze
TSquare we talked yesterday. My temp and humidity are out of whack. I called Farm Innovators and spoke to a lady she told me to do a hard reset. To do this take the lid off and did connect the temp probe and the humidity probe. Wait about 3 minutes and reconnect wires and start it up again. She said this should help. Not worry about it so much. I am going to do this while I candle the (7 day eggs)tonight. So fingers crossed I have good luck. I have Dark Brown Eggs so it harder to candle these eggs. Thanks for your help!!
Yeah anytime you have questions I was trying to help people because I think it's really cool that people do this and create something with food prices on the rise once you get these up and running you'll actually have eggs and a good source of protein if things were ever to get extremely difficult. Definitely keep me posted on how everything comes out and if it's your first time and it don't pan out don't get discouraged. I may be breaking mine out and getting it up and running as spring is pretty much upon us.
TSquare as I told you o would give you a updated report. 14 out of the 18 eggs incubated hatched and are thriving.. I had 1 egg not fertile . 3 eggs I had a question of alive on day 14 candling. I left them in till Day 22 and used warm water and they sank. Deposed of them. So We had a 78% hatch rate!! I am so happy!! Thank you for your video and all your help.
@@PLJS2018 that is great I think you did phenomenal and I know there's so much fun I want to break mine out and start hatching them again I think because it's been a while. Now what I would do if I was you I would clean it out fill it again and restart the process. And then a couple days after the new ones hatch if you don't need them I would use them to trade with other people for barter or I would sell them off and get your money back. This is a super easy item to actually make money with in my opinion because anybody will pay you $2 per chick. If you paid $150 for your incubator you incubate out 75 chicks at $2 a piece and you essentially have no money in there. So then you didn't make no money but you didn't lose any money on the whole process. Which is a great place to be. But I know some people don't worry about it because they know just buying the baby chicks would have cost $4.50 each at tractor supply. Thank you so much for the great update. And still don't hesitate to keep in touch.
Great instructional video. Helps others know how to incubate with our product.
Will the egg Turner hold duck eggs
@@crystalklein2660 Yes you can use it for duck eggs or chicken eggs there is actually a different turner for quail legs even. This is the perfect time of the year to pull out your farm innovators and get working using it. Especially where eggs are in short supply in most of the country this is an opportunity to guarantee you'll have yours when you need them by raising chickens or ducks. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@starter0951 Thank you for watching and commenting Main if you have any questions let me know.
Hi Tsquar talk it's my first time incubating eggs. Im very excited to start hatching eggs. What number should I keep a consistent rate for my humidity level? Thanks!
@@Gotmurderd1999 50-60 days 1-18 then 60-75 days 18-21
Hi! Is a perfect and clear Info; thanks! Interesting the comment about the eggs...mire oval will be ruster 🧐Just l put 35 eggs; trust on God we have a lot baby chikens 🙏
La mía la puse adentro de la casa por qué en el garage abeses le bajaba la humedad !! Suerte
I just happened to see this comment now thank you so much for your great comment Elizabeth. I am curious now I saw you put 35 in a year ago hopefully you got plenty of baby chicks I'm curious are you eating free eggs every morning now. 🙂🥚🍳🐔
Yes this is the model I have. I left a comment on your last video, but this is the one your other one is slightly different. Hey I heard you say south Texas. I am in Karnes City and I got my eggs from Floresville, Stockdale and Beeville from friends and family and I will be getting some from Alice and possibly Orange Grove. Don't know if you are around these parts but glad you make these videos.
I have actually worked in most of them pet towns at 1 time or another I live in Corpus Christi right now but I do move around a lot. Thank you for watching and commenting Eric. Keep in touch my friend.
Hatching in 3 days!! Excited & nervous!!
How did it go Marion?? I am excited to know. I love hearing people's stories about how happy they were with the product. Thank you for watching and commenting. Please hit the subscribe button and keep in touch.
I am planning to get this one this week for my bantams, I’ll be back to follow the set up thanks
Just got it today!
Awesome I think you will love this product Jose. If you sell the babies chicks it will more than pay for itself in my opinion. Thank you for watching and commenting keep in touch.
Very informative ! Excellent job!
Thank you so much for leaving such a nice comment. Did you just get a farm innovators incubator? I hope you have a great results with it. I will be producing more videos on this topic in the upcoming weeks so please be sure to hit that subscribe button and keep in touch If you have any questions about yours don't hesitate to shoot me a comment and let me know. I think you're going to be really happy with your incubator Marc. Also thank you for watching and commenting Mark St Louis.
I use the hovobator genesis 1588 but I'm looking to get a new one so that I have two. You helped me make up my mind. I'll get this model now. Thanks!
Hopefully it worked out good for you.
Hi! I've got the same incubator. Last year I tried hatching some duck eggs to no avail. I am about to try it again tonight with some chicken eggs. Thanks for all the tips. Greetings from Baja California.
Hi i finished looking at your video right now and thank you so much for all the great information. Its my first time doing this and i had a question what is the humidity level range have to be at? For best results! I know the temperature has to be at between 99.5-100 but the humidity I'm not sure... Also in the last 3 days what humidity level does it have to raise up to? Sorry for all the questions 😅 hopefully I can hear from you soon 🙏 thank you.
I purposely held this comment back for roughly 21 days because right now you're probably having baby chickens popping out I'm hoping I'm right and that you had great results I believe you did. I'm really excited to hear how you did. And you don't need to apologize for questions everybody asks questions. And anything I can do to help I'm more than willing to. Thank you for watching and commenting Julia Lara. Keep in touch my friend and let me know how you did. 🐣🐤🐥👍🙂
We just set 67 eggs total between two incubators. I have seen that my temp is off a little so I have to set it a little higher than 99.5.... I do struggle with the humidity but I'm going to use your tape technique and see if that'll resolve it! Will update
Yes it worked for me let me know what happens. Take a quick minute and hit that subscribe button and keep in touch I try to reply back to comments within a day or two. If that don't work I would consider grabbing yourself a little spray bottle make sure it's totally clean put some water in it and just lift the incubator open a crack and put a squirt in there on mist setting. But don't do that too too often.
I would be willing to bet you're going to have a lot of chicks. And the humidity doesn't have to be perfect anyway I have mine sometimes run low sometimes it runs high and I still get a decent turnout. I expect you would do really well too because they are starting to have a chicken shortage because of the new bird flu. Once chickens test positive they have to kill the whole flock which is why egg prices are going through the roof and soon chicken prices will go through the roof too. Definitely keep in touch and if you have any questions just let me know you can pretty much write a comment on any video and I'll see you.
I see a lot of discussion about humidity and people struggling with it. In the past few months I've stumbled across articles and videos about a "dry incubation method" to increase hatch rates...and simplify things. (Almost sounds kinda counterintuitive but sounds like it works great.) There are a few variations of it but the general jist of it is to not use water and just go with ambient humidity (~25 -40%), depending on where you live (if you're in Arizona or Nevada or similar you might still have to use some water to get 25%). Most of the articles and videos I seen say to do this til lock down then raise the humidity to ~50% - 70% for hatching. A few have even said no water for any of it...just ambient humidity all the way... Do your own research and decide for yourself. I have not tried it yet but am very curious and eager to test it once I'm in a setting to raise chickens again.
Another tip for improving hatch rates lately is gently rinsing your eggs in a 3%-6% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution. Most off the shelf drugstore H202 is 3%. Have it at room temp or slightly warmer (like 80°) not cold). The theory as I understand it is the h2o2 cleanses the outside of the shell and reduces any bacteria from entering the eggs. Also possibly increase the O2 level in the egg. Again, do your own research. The process is even patented...lol...search it. I've been curious if adding h2o2 to the water in the bottom (when and if you use water would increase O2 saturation and help the embryo/chick...kinda give it a boost like hyperbaric chamber treatment...lol 🤷🏼♂️ Will experiment with it one of these years...
Im in the desert and I have setup a humidifier next to the incubator because I cant even maintain the 50% required for the first days. I am concerned how im gunna get it up to 75% at day 3. Any ideas? I was going to try a mist or put a bowl of water.
Me personally I don't think I would use the hydrogen peroxide idea only because I try to do it 100% natural. And with the other idea I've never tried that but it would be something I would be curious to try I have not been doing much with the chickens lately only because I got so big in the farming and prepping but after having a strange outbreak of something in my chicken coop where I lost a lot of my chickens I may be considering starting them up again I would be curious to try the low humidity idea.
Yes I have heard this before in some areas where there is almost no humidity it can be difficult to maintain the humidity up high the only thing I could would say is to keep the trays full of water and remember that humidity is measured based off surface area which means putting a wet sponge in there or something like that could end up helping.
Can you tell me if quail sized eggs will fit into these trays, or would i HAVE to purchase the quail sized trays. Trying to avoid the extra cost if I dont need to spend it on the other trays.
So they do make a quilt sized egg and I think quail eggs would be a little too small to fit in there however would that being said I'm convinced that you could jerry rig a tray to make it work. That would save you some money but it would require a little bit of thinking outside the box. But if you're anything like me I'd rather save a little money. Thank you for watching and commenting rbljackson
I heard bad reviews on this one after I bought one glad I saw this video I put my eggs in point down it’s been 4 days can I open it and flip them
Flip no you never want to flip always keep the pointy end down otherwise you would drown the baby chicken there cuz he starts developing upright and you want to keep him developing the same way with slight movement but that's what the rotator is for. Yeah there's always going to be people out there that leave bad reviews on everything it doesn't matter what it is. But a lot of the cases is operator error. I find out a lot of stuff from just reading the comments on these type of videos.
I had one person one night couldn't figure out why her incubator wasn't working turns out she didn't have a rooster all she had was female hands and none of her eggs were hatching I had to explain that it's like people you need both a male and a female yes a female chicken will lay an egg but it will not be a fertilized egg so it will never hatch.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Dean please hit that subscribe button and definitely keep in touch. I can't wait to hear how they turned out for you and if at first you don't have a perfect success rate that's okay just try again and we'll figure it out. If you have any troubles feel free to stop in on a live stream in the evening and just ask a question I usually get to all the comments at the end of the show.
Hey! Quick question for you if you don't mind? My incubator has been in operation for about a day now and there is water in the tray. But, why is my humidity level still in the high 70's. How do I get it to drop? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I apologize for some reason I never seen this comment until now By opening the plugs on the top it should lower your humidity level. I have to ask how did you do I love hearing positive stories about people raising chickens. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Did you still get a good hatch even though your humidity was 70 at first
I’m having the same issue, humidity 70% + …I unplug the two red thingy and still doesn’t drop. I will update you guys back at the end of the month to see the results.
I'm convinced you'll still have a decent hatch rate even if you're humidity is running high. Obviously optimal numbers are best but mother nature has a way of working things out. But definitely leave a comment let us know how things worked out for you. When you do leave a comment leave it under a new feed like a new comment not under someone else's comment That way it will be a guarantee that I will see it right off. The app that I use will not always show people's replies to other people's comments but it will always show me new comments that are posted. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Good luck and I hope you have a great results.
Awesome video thank you so much
Thank you for watching and commenting JL Thomas. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Keep in touch my friend.
In the directions it says to sanitize the eggs and your hands. Is that telling me to wash them?? First time doing this. Trying out runner ducks. I always thought that you didn't wash them until your ready to eat them. That bacteria can get in after they've been washed. Sorry if it's a silly question 😅 but I have no clue what I'm doing 😬
The only silly question is a question that someone don't ask. I'd never read that in their instruction manual but from my experience you never ever wash your eggs otherwise exactly what you said bacteria can get in the pores which you don't want. With that being said I would make sure you don't have any fecal matter on them from the chickens but assuming your eggs are in Hay or in wood chips they shouldn't be super dirty if you have one that's really dirty I probably would not even use that egg. I would just wash it and use it for breakfast. Also like I said there's no silly questions if you have any questions at all please hit that subscribe button and just ask on any of my videos I try to get back to all the comments. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment Megan you have a great day.
Can you tell me how to keep the humidity up in Arizona? You said 60 to 70%. I don't even think that is possible here.
The environment is pretty contained with very little ventilation, you will just have to check the humidity onscreen once a day and add water as needed.
Yes and remember higher humidity is based off of water surface area so if needed you can put a little tray of water underneath the screen this will really keep your humidity higher. Here in Texas I only have to do it certain times of the year. I apologize for missing this comment until now it's hard to catch every comment on every video. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Great video. Thank you
Thank you for watching and commenting Joanne.
I get one today or tomorrow. Hatching light brahmas, brown leghorn, bantams, and jersey giants
Wow you got quite a variety of eggs in there. Thank you for watching and commenting Mr cluckins.
Muy bueno
My humidity will not drop below 50 degrees. I even poured some of the water out. This was when I was setting up. I did wait the 8 hours but went ahead and put eggs in today.
If you want to lower your humidity a little bit just take one of the plugs out if not take both of the plugs out if you want to raise it put the plugs back in if you happen to lose the Orange plugs on top just put a piece of tape over it. Thank you for watching and commenting Christy. Hit that subscribe button and keep in touch. Let me know how you do you did the right thing just put the eggs in a little secret I don't tell many people I have in sometimes not even waited the 8 hours only because this incubator is so awesome it will adjust real quick. Only mistake I'm hearing from a lot of people is there not filling it up with eggs fill it up all the eggs in all the spots. Don't forget come back and let me know how you did.
When and how do you stop the rotation of the eggs
I got this model and I’ve been having trouble with the hatch my chicks 🐥 have problems in there feet don’t know where I’m failing I have tried 5 times and same problem every time just a couple of chicks 🐥 can stand
If you set the temperature too high, high enough that they hatch one day earlier than expected, can cause a lot of foot/leg problems. I'd turn your temperature down one-half of a degree and see if that helps.
Are you leaving the teeter totter in?
How do you clean you eggs before putting them in the incubator?
At most I will just rinse off my eggs. Sometimes I just brush them off and put them in. If there is a lot of debris on the eggs and I have to rinse them off I will. Thank you for watching and commenting Millie.
My candler didnt fit the batteries it needed. It also didnt work once we were able to shove the batteries in. The styrofoam inside is hard to clean and the 10 holes on the bottom made a huge mess when I tried to take it to the sink to clean.i have had good success rates but i expect those rates to decrease as the styrofoam continues to get nasty.
Yes I'm not sure why they put the holes on the bottom I'm guessing it has something to do with airflow. I have seen someone caulk those holes up and still have good hatch. I am super happy with my hatch rates even over the years it still works great. I actually just hatched out another 20 something. I put a lot of wear and tear on mine and I still have pretty good rates. I never had any trouble with my Candler. How many chickens do you have if you don't mind me asking? Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@TsquareTalk we have about 20ish adults. Not all of them sleep in the coop so counting is hard. This year 3 have been hatched by mommas, and 27 in the incubator.
IMO the real reason you dont want to turn them by hand is that opening the thing causes all the temperature and humidity to fluctuate.
I agree with you. I believe the fluctuations can have an effect on your hatch rate.
A hen leaves eggs more than once a day to eat drink n poop. I think it will be ok.
Can I use wet wipes to clean them up?
I've never done it but you probably can I just use warm running water. Thank you for watching and commenting Renjo. don't forget to hit that subscribe button and keep in touch with any questions or updates I love to hear about other people's experiences.
@@TsquareTalk thanks man.. I'll start the incu tomorrow and hope it will have a great hatchability results
Question is 57% humidity too high? And how many days before I need to refill the water inside? Thanks man! Appreciate it..
Probably a stupid question, how do you get humidity to go down? Mines to high
You should just be able to remove the red cover caps or depending on how far along just open the whole top for about 5 seconds 10 seconds and the humidity will come out the temperature will go down also but it will raise the temperature backup really quick however the water will be let out. Do not do this if you are in the last 3 days. What is the actual humidity number showing? If you do see this comment reply back in a new comment so it will show up I don't always see continued comments. I am testing out an app right now to help me keep up with all new comments.
What breed or breeds of chicks do you incubate?
I happen to do mostly Rhode Island reds only because Rhode Island reds will lay on average one egg a day. However approximately 4 months ago something happened and all my chickens started getting sick They all passed away except for 5 of the remaining five none of them laid eggs anymore 2 months after that I got rid of them fixing to start over from scratch if I can find a good source of eggs with the right kind of chickens that I want. Hopefully you did well and you're swimming in eggs right now with these high egg prices. By now you're probably the egg mother at 6 or 7 bucks a dozen. And I believe prices are only going to get worse We might see a pull back in the short run but I don't believe inflation's over yet. Sorry I just seen this comment with 1,500 videos I don't always catch every comment. But I'm now using an app to help me find comments that I have not replied to. Just trying to do 50 or 60 a day till I get caught up 😂. You have a great week Elaine keep in touch my friend.

How loud is the noise level on the fan?
At 1st or 1st year of operations You will barely hear it however as time goes on years later you will start to hear it the more you use it but I don't really think its the fan I think it's the egg Turner rubbing up on the case so possibly just check if it's fitting in their just right the rotating motor has to be in a specific corner of the Box.
I own one of these. I don't hear the fan at all, and I have it set up in my bedroom.
Hi im from mexico cross the border fromo texas my humiltity at 60 to 70 it that okay
I apologize I actually just seen this comment I now have an app that shows me every comment that I've never replied to. I think you will be all right only because I'm actually in South Texas pretty much just on the American side of the border. I know it's been a while but I'm curious to hear how it worked out for you Hopefully you got a good hatch rate. And it could really pay off for you because egg prices are skyrocketing right now. And this winter we're expecting more food shortages. Thank you so much for watching and commenting Angel Ramirez
Can you use regular tap water?
yes I do. Thank you for watching.
I do.
Why don’t mentioning the proper humidity for the 18 days and after for the 3 days hatching, please and thank you
Yeah I made like 40 videos on this. Going through all the ins and the outs stuff that we learned stuff that didn't really match up with what the book said. Trial and error is the best. Little tips like we leave the egg turner in the machine We just unplug it and we had our best hatch rates when we did that. It's a little more work cleaning it but it's worth it to have more chickens at the end. As for humidity it's really hard to keep the humidity at a set number but You will be surprised how many will still hatch even if the humidity is not always what it's supposed to be at. Life is precious but it's also resilient. There's one thing I learned while hatching almost 500 chickens It's that the world's not always going to be perfect and neither will these machines but nature will run its course and most of the time you'll still do really well. It does help to have increased humidity on the last 3 days but if you practice this and using this you will find that almost no to hatch cycles will be the same.

Mine won’t get off the temp change mode to allow me to change days
I would try unplugging it for a minute and then replugging it back in and if you have to hold down the buttons. Good luck. Thank you for watching and commenting Jacob.
I add water twice a day with baster but can't get it over 35 humidity
I just happened to see this comment recently a little late but when you try again I would plug more of the holes if they didn't hatch. If they did hatch then I hate to say I would probably ignore the 35 humidity because it could be something off on a setting if the Box got dropped or something.
This was great
how long do the eggs take to hatch?
21 days on average plus or minus one. They say that is based off the time they go in the incubator however I kind of believe it is semi-based off the time that it's been laid. But I'm not 100% sure on that because I have had some from the first of the month that I put aside second of the month that I put aside the third of the month that I put aside and they hatched in that order even though they all went in the incubator at the same time. Thank you for watching and commenting
I really want 42/42 success rate! Im following closely.
Yeah don't let me convince you it happens all the time it is extremely rare to get 42 out of 42 but a high 30s 37 38 is not unrealistic. It just takes time to learn all the tricks. Thank you for watching and commenting.
My Temp won't hold it goes to 97.5 then 90.0 then 97.5 again and then repeats
I've never seen that happen ever I've never even heard of that happening however I would still if it was me run it and let it see if the chickens hatch worst case scenario you'll be out some eggs best case scenario it still works fine and you're just getting faulty readings. Some of the incubators come with a thermometer have you tried putting the thermometer in there and checking if it's really jumping because I can't understand how it could jump like that that quick unless it is just a digital reader problem.

It has a built-in hydrometer but idk if it is working
And the eggs aren't as warm as my other incubators but I see veins
I did exactly what you said but my humidity is 85 and up 😢
Humidity can run high but it does not mean the eggs won't hatch. I am really curious how they turned out Kevin. If you see this comment let me know what happened. Thank you for watching and commenting. Please keep in touch my friend.
I can't get the humidity to up past 22
I couldn't get the humidity up past 50, filling both sides, I had to use a humidify and hose it in for extra humidity. So far working pretty good, finger crossed it last the whole 21 days now! I think the filling pan needs to be a bit deeper!
Wow I never seen that happen I've seen the humidity run low but never 22. I just ran mine with the lower humidity and it still worked. But like I said I never had my humidity at 22. Thank you for watching and commenting.
My eggs hatch 109% by the mother hens. 10% by this new model.

What is the cost ?
It runs about $139 but that price can vary a little bit from place to place. However if you're gonna buy a bunch of baby chicks it's a whole lot cheaper to go this route in my opinion and then you still have something afterwards that you can keep using year after year or resell for a little bit less than you bought it for.

Blinking means it’s heating.
Yeah anytime you see the light blinking that should tell you it's either hot or cold basically the temperature is out of parameters. Thank you for watching and commenting P N
One of my hens only lay pointed eggs. So that tale isn’t real.
Yeah I actually put that to the test one time where I put all round eggs in thinking that maybe I would get all hands and that did not happen so that was how I knew that that was just a tall tale. It has to be something with the bird and the way it is that day or something. Thank you for watching and commenting P N
Mine drop after 3 days…. If you follow the manuf instruction.
Yeah unfortunately the bad thing about manuals haven't written manuals for different stuff before is a lot of the stuff is copied and pasted. And the people that write the manuals in general are not always actively using the equipment. Thank you for watching and commenting P M
Do you vaccinate your chicks
Nope, never have. But that's just me I know some people do but I keep them pretty much all natural everything.
We en español no entiendo ni pitos jjj tengo una
Thank you for watching and commenting😊👍
this incubator is a piece of shit right out of the box. both red pulgs missin, no egg candler and have had it plugged in for hours the turning just hums like a womans vibrater. awsome product...NOT!!!
The red plugs are probably still in the wrapping paper in the box They do fall out if it's tipped over I will say it's easy to lose the red plugs unfortunately As for the egg candler not all models come with an egg candler. In fact most incubators you have to buy the egg candler separately but for a while they were including them for free. But I've also heard of people opening them up at the store and stealing them. As for the vibrator I mean the egg turner You're not going to notice it move Just to go from one side to the other It takes 4 hours. We're not trying to give the baby chicks whiplash we're just trying to gently turn them so the yolk don't stick on the inside of the egg. But I thank you for watching this video and I hope you enjoyed the video at least. Now what I would do I would either call the company and ask them if they can just drop two of the red plugs in an envelope and mail it to you or take even take it back to wherever you bought it from If you just bought it they should be more than willing to replace it and swap it out with a new one. Or I would load it up and let it run and see what happens in 21 days. I think you will be extremely satisfied once all them baby chicks are popping out. But not as satisfied as when they grow up and they're spitting out your eggs everyday for breakfast. Nothing beats walking out in the morning grabbing some eggs and making a four egg omelette from scratch. You make a good homemade fresh omelet for your woman she is going to forget all about that vibrator. She going to be over there every night just for breakfast in the morning.
