Cheap 7 egg incubator dome thingy.

So of course, once I realised I wasted 20 bucks on this funny little dome incubator that had no English instructions...and no heat insulating properties ect... list goes on....well after trying with chickens...and failing epically...I was like hell, why not incubate these 3 quail eggs and one smaller chicken egg just to see... originally I wouldn’t have incubated the quail eggs because of the poo on them (got em from a friend) but I figured why not...well it’s day 22 days in and I got one pipping! Also, the legbar egg I put in seems to be growing, but it’s hard to see. I added about 3 inches of clothing and hand towels on top of the clear dome like suggested on a an old YouTube vid...and here we are...let’s see if I can get a pic of the lil pip.

I see it! So cool! Is this your first hatch?

I also have a cheap incubator. It works if you wrap a towel around it, and don't mind watching it like a hawk! I also paid no attention to the built-in thermostat.

First quail hatch yes...was supposed to be an experiment...then bud seen they were developing so he gave me like 20 more, I put em in my big incubator tho.

Mine was an experiment, too. I never expected it to hatch. Thankfully, it's a she!

Put them on a thin cloth because I don’t know if their little feet can go through my incubators floor plastic mesh..
I over do it sometimes....my first chicken hatch I knitted each one a little holder...and rotated them in their little holders daily... I get too attached sometimes...

That is so cute!

I just made a little box out of paper towel so it wouldn't hatch on a hard surface. Once she zipped, she flung herself out of that pretty fast!

I was about to buy one of those for my hatch but most of the reviews were negative. Some saying it just cooked the eggs instead of incubating them!!! I immediately turned to Brinsea!!!
Glad that they are hatching though!
