Unboxing and setting up the Hatchingtime CT series Incubator

How do you test egg turners?

[@GoldenLegionHoney]

They did work. All were turned at different angles throughout the day. Im not sure how to test them though

How does it keep the temp I have one and it won’t get to 99.9

[@GoldenLegionHoney]

I've had no issue with it keeping temp. Maybe make sure the doors are shut properly. I also had an issue with my hard water making deposits on the fan.. maybe on your heating element too? Worse comes to worse, their customer service is great. I was missing a basket and they sent one right away. I have mine at 98.5 and it keeps fine

What’s your thoughts on this machine? I’m look for one this size

[@GoldenLegionHoney]

Its pretty great. the trays make it easy to keep breeds separate and secure when they are hatching and i had no issues when incubating. you may have to mess with the default settings a bit but the manual is easy to read and their customer service is very responsive to emails. i think i had and 85% hatch rate.

@@GoldenLegionHoney I’m thinking get this one or surehatch. The recreational homestead has sure hatch holds 2000 eggs. I’m breeding American bresse chickens have 62 hens so gonna hatch 150 month

@mikemacinnes6120 nice. With this one you can add them tray by tray as they lay also. Just have to keep track of the hatch time per tray.
