16 eggs, 3 species, 1 homemade incubator: Will it be done?

[Ememasb2010]

We had a fun night last night one of the farmers that live near us had a herd of cows get out last night. They came in our yard and we helped the farmer herd them back to there pasture. This all happened around midnight last night

Snow fencing. That is what I use.

Snow fencing. That is what I use.

I considered that. I was wondering about how effective it would be at keeping predators out?
As of now, my dad and I are looking at using Cow Panels to make a semicircle covered run with about 120 sqft of space. Lined with hardware cloth, I figure it will be a good run. Thoughts?
I pretty much need to redo my whole run as a) it is very poor and ineffective at keeping predators out and chickens in and b) it is not large enough for the new number of birds that we have

My thoughts, if your night shelter is secure, the snow fencing is good enough to keep out airial predators during the day.

And keep the chickens in

Thanks
We may just go with that since it's cheaper.

Wow! That's so awesome! How did you make the homemade incubator? Sound like a good idea. I've got a hen who eats her own eggs, so it'd be nice to be able to incubate them.

I need to make an Article about it.
Basically, I used a Styrofoam cooler, a 20Watt bulb, a socket, wiring, and a thermostat.
In the near future there will be a complete article on it.

I had been stuck on my cell all day and I don't pay attention well to alerts on it.
I am sooo sorry.
I am very behind today.
