I will be purchasing one this week and just wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations, tips, or helpful information in general as this is my first time incubating. I have 12 eggs in my Pekin nest as of this morning.
Around 70 at night I was wondering about stressing her she is up to 8 eggs would be 10 but one broke by her pool and the other she threw out it was bad. So she is laying an egg a day again and she keeps building her nest up. Hoping she is able to hatch these eggs on her on since we wont be able...

My Pekin has produced 6 eggs at first it was one everyday. She was sitting at first but I have not seen her sitting anymore and she has not laid in a week or maybe a little longer. One egg she removed from the nest last night so I am assuming it is dead. We are wanting babies so should I remove...
