Eggs! Coming! Now! Help! Mama ran away! I need to incubate them without an incubator!

[FluffySilkie]

Do you know of they're fertilized? What day of incubation they're on if they are fertilized? I wouldn't bother with them personally

A week to hatch estimate! They are fertilized!

If you can set up an area that can maintain humidity and temperature, you'll be OK. Like a plastic container with a lid, that you can add a little water to. the humidity has to be higher the last day of incubation. Don't let the eggs get wet though. Put the container on the Brooder plate.

Can I mist the eggs directly?

Can I mist the eggs directly?

No. put a small towel on the bottom of the container, mist that, put plastic wrap on top of the towel.
Turn the eggs 3-5 times a day, not in the same direction, stop turning on day 18.
