Thanks Kelly. I'm thinking I may just let a mama hen do the incubating for a while. I think I'm gonna throw the bator in the attic so I wont be tempted to use it again till spring at least. I may try again then with local bought fertilized eggs. Maybe that would give me better odds. I am glad that I finally got an ee but I'm not real sure what to do for his leg. If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate them.
