So this is my first tome ever hatching eggs, I’ve raised chicks before but I’ve never hatched them. I made my own incubator out of a heat lamp and a small lizard terrarium I had. I know the basic information about hatching them, like that I have to turn them and what temp and humidity to keep them at, but are there any other tips anyone can give me? I’m using eggs from my grandma’s hens (she had a lot of different breeds but they are all large hens) and they were (hopefully) fertilized by her bantam rooster. He has fertilized eggs from these chickens in the past and the chicks turned out ok, so hopefully this time will work too. Here’s a picture of my set up right now, I’m going to wash out the whole terrarium before I add in the eggs, but this is what I’ve got now.
