Hi all, i'm new, don't know if this the right area to post this but here goes.I made a simple homemade styrofoam incubator out of recycle materials i found lying around in my house. It consists of a styrofoam ice chest, old lamp with the socket remove to fit in the cooler, digital thermometer, water dish and a viewing window. I set a dozen of eggs that are 1/2 silkie eggs and 1/2 ameraucna eggs and out of that i got 3 ameraucana eggs to hatch(i know that's a low hatch rate but it was my first time ever making a homemade incubator and incubating eggs), honestly i was surprised i even hatch anything, wasn't expecting any thing then 21 days later there were 3 little chicks peeping their head off in the bathroom. Well here's some pictures of the chicks for you guys to enjoy savoring at.
