Tap on the egg, not the incubator. When you tap a egg it gives you the option "Start incubation"
Yay, it works! Thanks, guys. I'm going to go hiking later this morning, so getting 10 kilometres will be a snap.

I might have an addiction. Who am I kidding, I definitely have an addiction.
Hm, naaa. I'd understand the surprise factor, but there are a lot of cool old pokémons, I'd want to catch them first.

EDIT - sorry, double post
I don't see many starters. I would love to get Charmanders so I can get a Charizard.
After finding out the nearby lake was a consistent spawn for Meowths I went everyday until I got enough Meowths. Evolved it into a Persian, named it after an old pet that died several years ago. That cat is going nowhere now.

Just finished up my morning run and got my Eevees so I can finally make my Vaporeon. But it's nearly noon and this is the time the servers crash nearly every day so.. I'm going to hold onto my lucky egg and evolvefest until the servers stablize.
Isn't it the opposite?
I've heard the opposite from a lot of places
From my own pitiful experience (Barely level 9) it's made no difference for me. Just my awful aim

The circle doesn't matter. It's where you throw the pokeball. If it's in front of the Pokemon's face it's Excellent, if near, Great, then Nice, etc.
Wide circle -> easy shot
Small circle -> more xp points
Tiny circle -> even more xp points
Straight shot -> easy shot
Curved shot -> more xp points
Curved shot + spinning ball -> even more xp points
Tiny circle + Curved shot + spinning ball -> max xp points
Thought the circle sized dictated whether you got a Nice, Great, or Excellent with an accurate throw. Excellent giving you the best chance to catch something. So kind of a dual mechanism there. You can increase your odds by making a riskier throw at a smaller circle. But I have no clue.
Kind of funny how they just didn't tell anything to anyone and we've all reverted to schoolyard rumors of how to find/catch pokemon.

People keep saying thata spin/curved throws give you more xp but I have done it tonnes of times and never got extra xp.
The only time you get more is by getting the all to hit them in the face and not on top of their head/side of their body.
Also circle doesn't seem to mean anything as I have got excellent and great bonuses for just throwing it without holding the ball and reducing the circle. It's all dependent on where the ball hits.

Level 18 and I have never got a 10k egg either, all 2 and 5.
How many km have you got in total?

Does anyone else find that the Zubat hitbox is impossibly small.
Little git is just phasing through my pokeballs.
Or maybe the depth perception and perspective is shit and zubat is actually a huge beast that is actually a very long way away and requires some sort of power throw to reach it.

We all agreed that Zubats are terrible. Best just avoid them.

For those having issues with Zubats, is AR on or off? Turn if off. Makes it easier to judge depth. They are high in the air and in the back somewhat. so you have to throw the pokeballs high.
Also, been practicing my curveballs and been getting better at it.

Hatch now. From what I heard from others, CP is based on the level you got them at.
I found Zubat pretty easy to hit once I turned off the AR camera, actually. Nonstop attacking/jumping Pokemon are far more annoying, imo.

This some real bullshit. Game was working fine until i use some lures and incense and a lucky egg,now the game crashes everytime i enter battle.
Zubats are easy to catch, you just need to throw it as hard as you possibly can. I've never once thrown it over a Zubat. Once you learn not to be shy with the throw it is simple and works for basically every flying pokemon. It almost seems like their hitbox is too high to allow a ball to pass over top.

Level 6 here just started yesterday and got 4 10k eggs and one 5k. Lucky i guess?
Lucky that you got the 10k eggs, unlucky that you got them so early. Those Pokemon will all be fodder

I always found that throwing the ball a little harder than other Pokemon seemed to do the trick. I guess it's since they are flying and not ground based that you need that extra throw. I haven't had a problem since I started doing this. I'm also guessing that they are hard because you have to hit the body and not the wings for the catch.

Got my first and only 10k egg at trainer level 8. Just squeaked into level 9. Hope mines not complete shite.
eh.. aside from the 3 paw tracking, the game is SUPER fucking stable compared to the last two weeks. It's annoying... but clearly the game is being fixed. Just have to wait for them to get to that one.
Catch em all. I dont really have any interest in fighting gyms but that could change later.
Thx for all the replies guys. I think I should just hatch em now.
I've only been playing a few days and I've have gotten three 5k and four 10k eggs. Guess I'm lucky. Its unfortunate I got em at such a low level.

Ugh, after like 2 minutes i cant click anything on screen, have to restart. Anyone else having same problems?
Wait till it becomes a Jynx. I almost threw my phone.
I would hold on to those eggs until you gain 10 levels. Unless egg contents are determined when the egg is picked up and not when it's opened.
I was about to take over gym and BOOM. Need more servers!
I get this if I leave the app in battery-saving mode for too long.
You get a lot of candy for a 10k egg. e.g., So if you hatch a low CP Snorlax, just hold onto the candy for a future Snorlax catch/hatch.
Also be prepared for Eevee. 3 of my 6 10km eggs have been Eevee.
