BK9-12 incubator help

[Skyblue rob]

I've recently purchased a BK9-12 incubator but, there were no instructions with it. Does anyone have any instructions for the incubator that I could have a copy of, please?

Hello Rob and welcome to the forum.Can you download them from the internet, because we bought a Covatutto 24 with no instructions and had to do that? Who makes that particular machine, because I don't recognise the code? Is is fully automatic or are the eggs turned manually, either with a lever or by hand? Is the air movement fan assisted?

Your incubator is a Janoel JN12 Skybluerob. You will find plenty of discussions if you Google it (JN12 incubator instructions) -they all say the manual is terrible. This may be the unit that doesn't turn the eggs properly and the chicks stick to the side of the eggs? They need to turn 90 degrees in total, so back and forth on their axis 45 degrees each way. No idea why they have re-numbered the unit and called it a BK9-12, although it may be to hide the bad reviews from a Google search.

My recommendation would be to get a Brinsea unit, because long term it will save you a lot of grief I think.
