Your rooster may not be feritle any more . When I had a old rooster we had 50% hatch .
Im sure with 5 roosters now my hatch rate will be better

All 3 eggs I thought were fertile but you could be right. Might have been a little early for my aging Rooster. .

Yes that is true. I am concerned that my EE rooster is getting too old. But I recently got another young EE rooster and he has just started breeding. So my odds are improving. I am going to try some more eggs soon.

I couldn't afford that either. But I did find some small highly rated incubators for about 70 dollars. You only put 9 eggs at a time in it. But it was highly rated at 4.5 stars. It is the Magicfly Automatic Incubator. I can't wait to try it out.

sound like my kind of bator. I will look it up and get the specific's. Thanks

I have a 8 month old Ameraucana roo and he needs a home. great roo but I am going with silver laced Wyandotte's and don't need him. $15.00 or get me an offer.

Wishing you the best of luck! I just built a forced air incubator by taking ideas from many on this web site. My test batch was 5 fertile eggs, I now have 5 fuzzy butts. It's very rewarding and gratifying to incubate your own. Presently have 9 more fertile eggs incubating away.
