Hi, I'm Nikki from south Alabama. I am married with 2 boys, ages 8 and 11, 3 cats 11 hens and 2 roosters. I have had the chickens now for over a year but just recently started an incubation project. I'm using a home made incubator and so far I'm 13 days in. Started with 13 eggs but lost 2 at about day 9. They just were not doing anything. The rest are doing good so far.
