Greetings all, I have to admit I've been tempted to candle earlier than I usually do but am holding off until Saturday. To distract myself, I decided to shop cabinet incubators. Good grief they are pricey! I am determined to build one, and anyone (hint hint CC!) who has done, any instructions/pictures/drawing sure would be helpful. Would a good start be a defunct fridge or wine cooler, or is it better to build from wood?
Also, some fun news, my younger pen of Silkies consists of 4 hens and a cock, they are all under a year of age, have been laying 1-3 months collectively, and 2 are evidently of a mind to hatch some eggs - one went to nest yesterday and didn't move, and another took over when the first left to eat and drink. Now they are sitting together on the two eggs DH let them keep today LOL. I guess if they prove they're serious in the next 24 or so hours I'll give them some more - if they do a good job they will be far more likely to hatch than I am.
