First time incubator - Lots of questions

[TheChickenGirl16]

Just keep in mind 50% will be male, have a plan for them, or space to separate the bulk of the males from the pullets until you decide which one(s) you're keeping.

Thank you!
Yes, I already have 10 boys that I still haven’t dealt with out of the chicks from my 7 broodies this year.
I guess I need to hurry up and deal with them to free up my “bachelor pen”.

Just a side note: Since you mentioned you've only hatched using broodies I wanted to add, don't forget you'll have to deal with integration when you hatch chicks in an incubator. Your flock won't immediately accept them like they do when a pullet/hen raises chicks in the flock.

Yes, I have bought/raised/integrated multiple batches of chicks into my flock. And my alpha rooster is super great with the young’ns, and never lets the older brats pick on them too much.
I feel pretty confident with integration, I had just been worried about messing something up with the actual incubator!
