anybody?

I am looking for a cabinet style incubator in South Carolina. It dosen't have to be working. Thanks Hunter

It will be fine. You usaully dont have to have that much water early in the hatching season.

Quote: I usually have abetter hatch with my eggs laying on the wire also.

Quote: Hens are able to care for more chicks than they can hatch. I always let my broodies hatch/raise their chicks with the rest of the flock without any problem.

I just have two light bulbs in the top of my mini fridge incubator for a heat scource. It works fine.

Yeah I have vintalation holes in it.

It was made out of an old refrigerator. I live in South Carolina. I was having bad hatches and i was told the dibbies were drowning in the shell and to barely use any water for the early hatches. I took the water out and it is still running high.

If that it what measures the humidity it works because I used another one to make sure.

The humidity in my incubator was to high so i took the water out of it 3 days ago and it is still running in high 60's. Any suggestions?

What do you feed your chickens before you show them?

My chickens have been eating there eggs. Yeasterday i clipped their beaks. I feed them oyster shells regularly. I went down to check on them today and saw them eating a egg. Some body told me it was because they were bored. Is this true? If it is what can i do? If it isn't what is it? Thanks
