Fertile eggs have come wish me luck

[WickedChicksNH]

My 4 Light Brahma fertile eggs have come in today, I ordered them online, 2 went under my broody hen luna and 2 in my incubator.
Day 1 ..20 more to go wish me luck I am so excited to have some light Brahma

I am hoping this will help break Luna of her broodiness too, that was the main reason I ordered them, and my neighbor gave me a egg from one of her hens, that one is a mystery egg.

Thank you, I did hatch my first chicks in that incubator a couple months ago, first time trying, so I am hoping all goes well.

What kind of incubator?

 

[WickedChicksNH]

It is one of the simple Styrofoam ones, I am not going to lie I got that one because it was one of the cheaper ones.
I have to manually turn the eggs myself which I do at least 4 times a day.

it tells me the temp and humidity and days count down

I read that some people said it was terrible, but I really had no issues, out of the 5 eggs I had in there, 2 died halfway through, which could of been my fault, 1 died right when it was due and the other 2 I have 2 happy babies.

I find that success for someone that never incubated eggs before and used a simple incubator
