Crazy incubation story

[SuperPeacockman]

I have a story I wanted to share with you guys. There is a lady I know who used to have peafowl when she was younger. I asked her how she incubated them- she used a frying pan

Not to fry them to incubate them. She said that she used to just set it to warm and role the eggs it a bowl of water twice a day to keep the humidity up. The best part it that it worked for dozens of eggs!

think thats crazy? a while back, me and some fellow BYCers did an incubation experiment and used our ummm "boosums" to incubate some eggs with our own body heat

lol one of the ladies actually got a couple eggs to hatch! no joke!

there's stories going back in history of women who would lay in bed for 21 days keeping eggs warm to incubate them.. i thought that was where you were going with this story lol which is why i brought up my little story

Yeah I though it was crazy to, but apparently the warm setting is 100 degrees

One of my neighbors back in the late 70's would use an electric skillett filled with corn meal. He would bury half the egg in the corn meal and turn them several times a day. He also kept the lid on and a cup of water inside. He actually could harch some!
