Egg Candling: Seven Days in our Maticoopx Incubator.
Ойын-сауық
Day 7 of our first dozen eggs in the Maticoopx automatic incubator. We are going to use the built in candler to see what is inside. Are they growing or has the unthinkable happened?

When you have a space in the tray you can use a piece of cardboard or a wadded up paper towel to fill the gap and keep the eggs upright.

That's a good suggestion. I would just add to anyone who may use that method to keep your filler dry. Damp paper or cardboard is a good place to grow bacteria, especially if it is against the shell of an egg. It is probably best not to to reuse it, but if so, it needs to be sterilized between hatches. Not just on the outside but all the way through. For cardboard, heating to 170 degrees for 60 minutes will do the trick.

You can also use a candle stick and cut it to length to fill in the gap and keep them upright.
Good video!

Thanks!
Shalom! I enjoyed your informative video. I too have a MATICOOPX 30, I incubated for French Black Cooper Marans, which I received from Ebay. Of the 4, two hatched on March 02, 2023. I now have duck eggs a few chick eggs in my MATICOOP. I do like the MATICOOPX 30 very much. Blessings to you and yours, all the way from Norco, California

I am happy you enjoyed it. The Maticoopx has been a great incubator for us so far. I have to be honest, I'm a little jealous of those growing seasons y'all have out there. LOL. Thanks for stopping by.
