I ended up 16 total one still in maybe. I bought a mix from my friends at Taylor Hobby Farm. I was testing a incubator I built out of stuff in my shop that I had not used. The mix was all from the best looking birds in our area the three copper marans, Taylor's Rooster won best of breed in...
Raised humidity and removed the 13 out waiting to see, I put them in the little brooder. The Black copper maran is real close, just hope she gets out soon. I don't think the white leggers will make it. The eggs where spot on I wish I had GQF 1502. DIY incubator has done well this has been a test...

I go to lock down in 3 days getting excited to see how the hatching turns out. The changes I have made seem to have improved the bator from the last hatch. I bought my eggs from Taylor Hobby Farm and they were clean and seem to be of great quailty. We added a 30' x 40' fenced in area for our...
They are doing great, Thank You. I hope your little hen is doing well. Ours is doing well after 4 days of feeding and watering with eye dropper. The Electrolytes are great and helped a lot.
Thank You.

I built a incubator out of a old Rubbermaid cooler. 25watt bulb and small fan from a heater. I built a manual turner so I don't have to open it to turn the eggs. I am at 99.6 deg. an 60% on humidity.
