My new assorted Silkies,

1 acre, would you mind posting some pictures of your home made bator? Sounds to me like you got everything right on the money if temp & humidty are holding steady.

Got a little giant incubator off craigslist for $15 and works too.

Hawks came and got 2 of my chickens today and I tried to scare him into dropping them but no luck. I thought when you take something thats not yours, That your supposed to pay for it. Well I wished someone would tell these animals that. Cause they are taking without paying.I was brought up to...

Anyone wanna buy 5 Ameraucana pullets 2 1/2 weeks old? I'm hatching way to many chickens.LOL Now that they have slowed way down on producing I can take a break. Even though I have been selling alot of chickens. Instead of the Popeye chickens commerical. I'm gonna remake to "Love that chicken...

I'll be able to hatch 123 little guys or girls at once and sell them next door at the feed store.I might be able to put more than 3 shelves in there.

Think I'll use 2 100 watt light bulbs and the fan is up top and works. To bad chicks won't hatch in cold, then all I would have to do is plug it in. Atleast I have agood place to sell them all at the feed store next door.

Here is a picture of the fridge and he says it works great. Which means I'll have alot of these if the heat here would calm down cause it's been getting in the triple digits with heat index. And if power was to go out for any reason I have a battery backup for it.

Yes I sure do,

quintinp.. I'm getting a soda display cooler that has a glass door so I won't have to build 1. Only $50 next week. If the guy will hold it for me. He said he would but these days you can't take anyone for their word anymore. I'm old school, Your word is your bond.

Cmom mine are too. put 6 eggs in incubator and got 4 to hatch. put 2 more in 2 days later but don't know what I'll get out of them.Hopefully the 2 I put in 2 days later will hatch. Who knows with the heat the way it has been climbing. I think I should stop incubating till I get some of these...

Not bad 4 out of 6,without candling. I just stuck them in incubator and went for the best. And I beat the odds.

My chickens hatching http://tinyurl.com/6zy9lz8 when camera is dark means lights have turned off but they will turn back on quickly. 2 eggs hasn't hatched today or they are late or not fertile. Almost positive not fertile.But hey everytime I hatch I get almost 100% hatch rate.I never candled...

quintinp: If you was to cut a piece out of the fridge door and silicone a piece of plexiglass onto it then you will have a nice see through door.

quintinp..Best thing to do (not open unless to add water).Add water and stay away unless adding water or taking turner out. I have 8 Barred Rocks hatching now as we speak. I've never hatched quail eggs. If you would like to see what I hatched earlier this month I have them on video on web at...

quintinp.. I love the home made bators you have made from scratch. And sounds like your getting 100% hatches out of them. Great job!!! Was that a mini fridge you made your fridg-a-bator out of?

Day 7 or 8 you can see the eye. I always candle mine on day 7 or 8 & once I see the eye moving hen I know it's good to go.But good job if you see any movement.

This is what I got out of my last batch of eggs. Click on link, http://tinyurl.com/6zy9lz8

As long as you got heat & humidity correct then you will have a great hatch. Oh and don't forget to turn them any odd number of times per 24 hours. I had forgot to turn mine but still had a good hatch. 21 days later you will have these . WOW, I'm getting to many chickens. Just got 10 more...

Robert you have done a great job on building your bator. Only things I would of done different is (1) put light source at top of bator (2) is put mesh wire on bottom (3) use a wafer thermostat cause they are more reliable. Just my opion. Other than that you have done an excellent job. you...
