    Looks good. Where did you get the fan and is it easy to hook up and where did you get the thermometer? How many eggs do you put in it?

    Turning eggs by hand vs egg turner

    Have you had any news on your chicks? I have been following your egg hatching experiment for a week, I was really hoping it would work. I was gonna try your idea also, but without the egg carton, just a heating pad inside a container. Please update us either way!

The others are copper marans, easter eggers, and buff orpingtons, and several other breeds. I have had chickens for many years, but I am still learning about them, so I know this...
