    hens lay together

    I have 9 hens, and they all lay in the same nest too - even though there are 3 nests available. I guess they just like a particular one. Weird little animals!

If I end up doing this again, I might try to find something used, but this is probably a one-time deal for me...

    Angiechick - that's wonderful! You're so lucky! What kind of incubator do you have and how did you run it (like temps and humidity levels, how often did you turn, etc) What kinds of chicks do you have? Still learning, and trying to be patient, Em
