Hi peeps! The thirteen eggs i put in my mini adv. started to hatch Tuesday night. Out of the thirteen eggs that went in 9 hatched. 2 were from a new layer and weren't even fertile so tectonically 9 out of 11 hatched. Is anyone wanting a Silkier or a Sizzle chick? Three of them have giant domes. There is a really neat one that is white color with black stripes on its back, this is a first for me. My parts came in for my DIY incubator but i still did not get it finished for the New Years hatch along so i improvised. I ordered a 12 dc incukit to use for a brooder but in the last moments i gr

abed a medical cool or and used it as a incubator. I have never tried to build an incubator and hope i get A good hatch rate out of these. Temps are staying at 99.5 and only varying +-.5 degree.I'm just not sure about the humidity so i am going to wing it. Every persons answer is different.

So cute!! I hope my silkies hatch! One started seeping so I have 14 left.

You are seeing the difference between a foam incubator and the plastic brinsea. Plastic or wood is better for houses that do not keep a constant temperature.

Wow, thanks for that! Now I know that I need a plastic or wooden 'bator. Would it help if I put my LG in a wooden box?

So cool every house has one here in orma Wv if not the house would be well full of mud

Unfortunately, I'm a Mountaineer w/o a mud room and I definitely can attest to that fact! Winter, Fall and Spring are the worst! Summer, we all run around outside barefoot so a mud room would do no good but the garden hose outside the front door helps.
