My boy's picked what they want for 4-H so I'm on the hunt for eggs :). Looking for Japanese bantam eggs for one he's not terribly picky about color & my youngest couldn't decide on an exact breed just that he preferred bantams with feathered legs lol.
Still working on it but I'm pretty proud of it . My awesome mom is building this for me ) with a little help from me & my kids ) & so far everything but the siding is recycled so my 200 sq ft coop will cost us under a $100 . It's 2 coops up top & will have a 3rd one on the ground for my larger...
My first batch is out :) . 4 courtnix quail hatched right on time & 4 mixed breed bantams that decided to join us early they pipped on day 19 & hatched on day 20 . Currently listening to another batch of day 19 bantams chirping at me from inside their shells in the incubator .

Some cute little almost 2 week olds . These guys escaped the nestbox some time last night lucky for them my daughter decided to check on the babies before she left for school & found them very cold but thankfully still moving . They've spent a couple hours in the bottom of the incubator warming...
Just hatched out some babies that are either pure bourbon red , pure slates or a cross of the two ( pretty sure their a cross ) any guess as to what they'll look like as adults ?

Running for about 36 hours now & the temps are staying nice & steady on all the shelves :)
Thanks I'm pretty happy with it considering my building skills are minimal :)
And ventilation holes not sure on the size but I've got 2 on each side (bottom & mid way) 4 in the top 9 in the door ( row's of 3 midway top & bottom ) these are the size of my soldering iron . 2 60 watt bulbs...
