Hi @Michelle Farmer-Brown ! I’ve driven through Alberta a few times on the way to visit my sister in Saskatchewan.

Great place. I grew up in Toronto . You couldn't pay me enough to go back.
So, what kind of flock do you have?

Currently , none. I get my chicken snuggles from the chickens at the dairy farm I work at. But I did go up with chickens ,ducks ,geese, rabbits guinea pigs , and Pygmy goats... also , expecting my chicks to arrive February 3 there are Polish chicks and bantam Cochin chicks. So excited the bantam Cochins are straightrun birchen and the Polish I ordered a variety os buff-laced , gold-laced, and silver-laced pullets and a whitecrestedblack rooster. So excited for them to come .

Are you all set up with your coop?
Right now I have 4 buckeye hens and a roo. I'm hoping to add chanteclers and partridge chanteclers later this year. I'm hoping to get if the partridge hens sooner rather than later, because I need some broodies.

I have the bigger coop set up yes, I just needed to put in the feed and watered in but they need to be in the brooder and a pen in the garage before they can go outside anyway . Last pic is of the coop before it was finished and the other two of the hip roof style is a minicoop that I may use for the bantams or maybe sell.

Are the partridge chanteclers more likely to become broody?

Yup. There was only one @ a show I went to a few weeks ago. They said she's broody more often than she lays.
Your coop looks fantastic. Fantastic workmanship.

Has anyone ever tried this? And what was the success rate?

Looking for ideas that are relatively cheap..

Thanks

I know that a lot of people make their own incubators. Check in the incubating forum and you'll probably get a quicker answer.
