Hi everyone! I'm new to this thread, and pretty new to having chickens. I grew up around them, but didn't start my own flock until last June. I hatched them in an incubator. Out of 13 eggs, only 3 hatched. Then in January, I had 10 eggs in the incubator, and only 2 hatched, and 1 of those died a few days later. I am having problems keeping my temp up high enough. It's one of those styrofoam incubators you get from tractor supply. Does anyone have any tips for getting my temps up?

Here's 5 of the 8 that hatched Mon, Tue, Wed, plus one of the babies that the broodies hatched earlier this week... Sat or Sun? The broody baby is the big blue one in the back/right. I'm not sure what my striped one is, but the one on the left is a CCL, not sure what the blurry one is, the white and black ones are silkie/sizzle/frilkie mix.

Do you know the brand? Im using a hovabator genises and i just hatched 11/12. One died after hatch. So you might want to look into getting one of those.

I am still having trouble in my styro bators. Things got a little better with heat sinks.....I filled small/flat mason jars with warm water and put them in. That helped keep my temps a little more stable. I have seen people that wrap the incubators in blankets or clothes - making sure you leave the vent holes clear. If you go to the first page of this thread and click on the links for helpful notes in Hatching 101 - look for the section that talks about what went wrong...

Good luck!!!
