I just bought some eggs and they are on the way. what's the best and easiest (and least expensive) way to hatch them?
Neither actually... Let's go with incubator! What kind and can I make one at home from all the spare pieces of arts and crafts in my barn?
Well It depends on what you want. If you have the money I would say go for a forced air table top bator such as a hovabator or brinesea. But here is a link to home made bators for you to look at if you want to try to make one https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/homemade-chicken-egg-incubator-designs-pictures I would read up on hatching eggs on the learning center if you havent so you know all the stuff , humidity % , temp , turning , incubation length ect. If they are shipped eggs make shure to sit them pointy / small end down in an egg carton or such for 24 hours befor putting them in the incubator.
