The "made in Japan" "Showa Furanki" seems to be working great.. It's not the most high-end version so I had to remember to remove the arms that rotate to move the egg-rotating frame back and forth. A cheaper plastic sweatshop incubator came without one of the settings panels attached so I couldn't tell it to stop rotating the eggs... The cheap plastic machine lost the ability to maintain a high enough temperature too.. It was all too irritating to pay attention to so I splurged and ordered this one... I e-mailed the guy with a question while I was setting it up, the rotator arms are awkward to work with. The guy called me a short time later with suggestions.. You can't even hope for a legible instruction manual in Japanese or English when you order one from a on-line Leviathan of a shop that you don't want to support in anyway... These ShoWa Furanki people seem to have pride and competence.. The eggs are mostly from a nice farmer's market around 10 JiDokKo eggs and 4 "Silky" eggs. One Silky egg is from the yard, and two huge eggs are from a fellow chicken aficionado from the UK. His birds were hatched from Miyazaki JiDokKo eggs by a junior high school student. I'm guessing these descendents of the Miyazaki JiDokKo labeled eggs are throwbacks to the huge (90cm 7kg) Amakusa DaiOu birds. The huge eggs went in two days after the JiDokKo and Silky eggs so I'm still hoping for a big chick I feel lucky go get this many.. The JidokKo roosters injured each other a week or so before I got the eggs so the nice lady was worried about fertilization rates. But when did injuries keep one from fertilizing with any chance one gets? The silky eggs from there before didn't develop.. The huge eggs spent the day in an "eco" shopping bag that was in and out of the car and carried around a beach and stores for most of a day. I was told fertilized eggs are viable for 10 days but I worried about shocks: any jarring while in the bag, or temperature changes from the car... #孵卵器 #JiDokKO
