    Just thought I would update you guys on the hatch....ml...From the 7 eggs which were suppose to hatch, around 6 eggs managed to do so:)....however out of the 6, one of them has his tendon on his left leg dislocated or something as the leg is flat all the time and turned the wrong way....i have...

    Oh thats great, I hope they do well....How many babys are u nurturing at the moment? I am also hoping that the 6 eggs underneath the hen also hatch so that I can mix the babys with them. This way it will be easier for them to get along and be all nurtured like mother nature wanted it to be. I...

    Thanks, i think the good hatching thoughts worked as keeping the date in mind two eggs were suppose to hatch and guess what, 2 eggs did. I am very pleased as I had done the dry incubation method this time and added water on the 19th day. the humidity only peaked till 60 at the most and i think...

    I totally know what you mean.....I think its something to do with this hobby or passion for some of raising chicken....its like motherly or should i say fatherly instincts just come in and we want to do what we can to save the young....I know its a bit extreme but yea. Apart from that day 20...

    Yea. I had that too...but do you know what I noticed, is that you should never help them before day 21 atleast even if they are early hatches. There are some things which are not under our control, so there is no point in helping the little ones, only till the last point which is day 23. The...

    Dont have a clue about height and all....all i know is to have the heat source not to far from eggs as its more artificial....someone said to mimic a hen as much as possible...these are new things and new eggs....I am trying to keep it simple with different environments....I am hoping for it to...

    Well I have used the styrofoam one which gave me poor results but then again there were several temperature spikes and my first time using it. The drawer one was used by uncle who hatched several babys with it and even said that he always had a 90 percent hatch or above even. So lets see how it...

    Well both are homemade incubators. One is made out of a Styrofoam and the other is an old small chest drawer which is ideal. I have attached a thermostat to the chest drawer with a light bulb and it is the one with the water pan filled with water. The styrofoam one does not have any water and is...
