    Help! I just got some free 10 day old incubated eggs! *hatching!!*

    Well, I have 13 in the brooder, and I'm keeping the other 6 eggs in the 'bator just in case, but I think they are all infertile. I'm having some trouble keeping the brooder at the right temp, so I had to get out the foil and towels to try to insulate one end, and got the temp up. So far I've...

    Help! I just got some free 10 day old incubated eggs! *hatching!!*

    Quote: They are probably Leghorns, but could be any of the industrial breeds. BTW, I have eight now! I'm using an aquarium for a brooder, with a nice lid on the top, and it used to have a turtle in it, so I'm wondering what should I clean it with? I want to kill any possible germs from the...

    The plastic container might work, but I also have cats and a dog.... That's why I thought of the cat carrier. I also have dog crate that I'm not using, but I just don't have the space to put it in the house. I might use the crate in the garage, when they are old enough/big enough to not get out...
