Quote: We have a basic styrofoam incubator that has the heating element on the top and a trough at the bottom that is always full of water. We opted out on the automatic egg turner (we would probably need a second incubator to put it to use). So, my son turns each egg by hand 3x a day, once...

Quote: Don't you mean 21 days after setting the egg? You can collect eggs for two weeks before setting, though it's best not to collect more than a week prior to that. Of course, if it's under a broody hen, that pencil mark will probably rub off. We put our eggs in the incubator the very day...

Quote: Thanks for your pic ! That's a very interesting incubator set up you have. Can you post another pic of the whole incubator ? Ours is a little cheapo styrofoam one, but it seems to do the job pretty well ! Thanks, Lisa

Quote: I don't know if anyone answered you yet, but this is what we do: We always write the expected hatch date on the top of the egg with a pencil (21 days after collecting the egg). Usually you do hear some cheeping going on before they pip (peck at the egg to break through). If they take...

Quote: Aw, thanks so much for sharing pics of your mommy hen and baby chickies ! I love those kind of pics since we take care of the chickies instead of the mother hens outside. It just didn't work out with the ants around here. They are very sweet. Thank you !!

Quote: Aw, they are cute ! What are the marbles in the water for ? To prevent little chickies from drowning ? We now have 6 chickies ! And 39 eggs in the incubator. So excited about new Ameraucana colors, but can't tell yet as chickies. Will be fun to track chickies as they grow into...

We still have just 3 chickies (almost a week old now). 2 Ameraucana eggs are pipping. Hopefully they will hatch very soon ! Can't wait to see a new Ameraucana chickie color ! We have 40 eggs in the incubator. Today was the last day to collect eggs from a non-standard colored pair of bantam...

Quote: That's a lot of chickies ! What kind are they again ? I miss little yellow chickies ! Ours hatched a day early too (we hatch at 102 degrees Fahrenheit, although I've noticed my son leaving the thermometer at the bottom of the incubator floor instead of on top of the eggs and it read...

Quote: Thanks for the pics ! That's an interesting way to keep chickies ! I would be afraid they could jump out ! I never thought of heating from below. That's new to me. I always hang the heat lamp on another lamp with fake iron branches and leaves as decoration for extra support. We knew...
