You could also if you have someone close with roosters take a hen or a couple over and pen them together for a bit and let matings happen and then take them home and after day two of them laying after mating take those eggs for incubation for at least 7 days but up to 14 days I believeHappy New Years everyone I have taken the last few days to read this thread. I want to try to incubate a few eggs to. I have a Brinsea Mini II . It holds a total of 7 large eggs total. Since I don't have a rooster and we are not allowed them I will have to buy eggs or have some given to me. So now I am on the look out for some eggs. Hopefully I can join in the hatch soon and I love reading about everyone else having good luck.
We live very close to the city and not allowed to have rooster in our area. I don't know any one else that has any either or I would grab some from them. I may need to hit our tractor supply store and put up a notice there wanting fertile eggs if I cant find any. It maybe a way to get a few.You could also if you have someone close with roosters take a hen or a couple over and pen them together for a bit and let matings happen and then take them home and after day two of them laying after mating take those eggs for incubation for at least 7 days but up to 14 days I believe

Leave her be. If you can cover the window(s) on the incubator so it's dark in there, do that. They stay quieter when it's dark. If she doesn't tear herself up, it will absorb.So we have one girl, one boy, and our last chick is a girl. I think she hatched a touch too early as she has a graphic sized amount of yolk left. She's pushed herself out of the egg and is resting. What can I do so she doesn't rupture it?
