    gave my broody hen 2 eggs from the bator

    Another hen has decided she wants to be a mommy also, they lay on the couple eggs in there together and the Chicks climb on and under both hens, also they both seem very protective of the chicks.

    eggs are starting to hatch i have a question

    One of my incubators has so much condensation on the windows I can't see into it and the other does not, there are chicks in both though, should I pull a plug in the one with condensation or maybe add some water through the hole of the one with dry windows?

    A couple hovabators one is forced air and one is still air, I am saving my money up for a cabinet model though. I will probably instal a small fan in the still air model and use those for the rest of this year.
