Ive got a Maino ME3 incubator, with the automatic turning cradle.
Bought 2nd hand (ebay of course) so didnt come with instructions. Or..possibly..all its bits.
Water trays keep being mentioned, but this just had the cradle and nothing else. I now have 2 lengths of baton which I sit the cradle on so its not in the water (it had rusty feet so that must be how it had been used before) as it takes up the whole floor leaving no room for a pot. When it comes to day 18 I take all the eggs out of the cradle and put them on a piece of towelling, and put in water pots.
Does anyone have one with all its bits and instructions. My hatches are improving each time as I add more knowledge (thanks Bramble for the humidity info) but I hear things like 90% hatch from an incubator and think how?

This last hatch I came home from work a week before hatching and found the inci cold, although the eggs were cold to touch they were still slightly warm to hold. apparently a power surge had tripped the main board.
