lol, yesh!

I just put up a cover for my chickens and fixed some roofing over a plywood slab for my mini separation coop so no-one gets cold or wet and the food is protected. not going to make that mistake again...

On a lighter note, Hoping to breed my silkies soon! Does anyone have a really simple way to make a incubator out of a foam ice chest? I only want like 2 or 3 babies XD Iv'e seen people make sucessful incubators out of a foam icechest, a lightbulb, and a tiny fan. Idk where I would get a tiny fan buuutttttt.......... I have a light bulb (brooder light or normal?) and a foam ice box XD

I have a fertilized egg, 2 days old, in the nest box outside right now. My Silkie sleeps on it but wont sit on it during the day... too hot me thinks.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I'd try out this thread:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...n-chat-meet-new-friends-w-host-sally-sunshine

They have a lot of info about building incubators and hatching. It's on of my favorite threads.


I have a small computer fan that I won in a contest that I have no use for since I have a brinsea. PM me if you are interested.!

Ty for all the help I went ahead and ordered chicks from a place for my broody and now have another one sitting too fun. Two have successful hatches so I know they can do it. To this end I need to sell my older laying barred rocks they are over 18 months old if anyone is interested I am selling 6 of them for 42 or 8 of them for 55 North of Kingman mile marker 13.5 off stockton hill rd PM me if interested they are missing some back feathers from too many roos before I had time to cull them down

It is a rooster. It is DEFINITELY, without a doubt, a rooste.r He crowed for 10 minutes yesterday morning. Therefore, I will be incubating Bantam non-bearded splash - buff silkie eggs this year !

(yweeeeeeeee!)

any suggestions for incubation and brooding? Humidity and temp and such in my foam incubator?
