How quickly does this work? I need a hen to go broody to adopt a couple chicks.

We started seeing results within a few days.

And from what I hear, the data is not copyrighted, trademarked etc so it can be easily reproduced on a CD etc.

Ive been reading about aluminum foil on the old folks thread. They swear by it too.

Seems like one and I feel for it too,even though I should have figured it when they say:

"reflecting this hormone back to the hens would increase their estradiol levels. The concept was to utilize aluminum foil's reflective and insular properties to increase the level of estradiol in a hen"

Hmm "REFLECT a hormone back via tinfoil as if its flying and evaporating and then being absorbed by a hen again".

Lets see!

Nice "incubator" (torque converter) you've got there

A couple people actually fell for the joke! So if you didn't know before, you know now...this is not a incubator people. Nice April fools joke.

My friend tried it a couple of months ago and swears by it. I always thought she was crazy but apparently not.

Forget the aluminum foil, I found this new fangled incubator. Will cut your incubation time in half. Drop the chicken egg in the hole and a chick will appear in 10 days. This particular unit will hold up to 18 eggs. Large version available for the ratite egg. You can get a conversion kit to adapt the unit to run off gas or diesel. Or simply plug it in any outlet. Solar power unit will be available next year.







Available exclusively at Chuckling Chicken Farms for $89.95 plus shipping.

I ordered one. There's a slight delay due to the number of orders placed. I can't wait to get mine!
