    Heatlamp instead of incubator?

    See now I didn't know that. At a ripe old 54 I can still learn a thing or two. Thanks!

    Heatlamp instead of incubator?

    A stable temp and humidity are important. This page has a lot of good information although it might just be a bit heavy on the exactness. https://modernfarmer.com › 2015/04 › how-to-incubate-chicken-eggs They claim 99.5F where I've always had good luck with 100-101. Either way, the...

    Review by 'WestdaleFarmer' in article 'How To Tame Chickens from the Start'

    I've done a little bit of that with my Columbian Wyandottes. They're about 7 months old now, and very friendly and curious. Not so much into cuddling anymore but I've noticed that as they get a little bit older, they don't act so nervous when I pick them up. Of course they've always loved...
