hatching baskets?

[urbanagrarian]

I want to keep chicks separate when they hatch. How do others do this? Do you make or buy hatching baskets?

Hi! Those little strawberry baskets might work.

Good luck!

I'm think a chick might jump out of a strawberry basket, but maybe with a cover it might work.

How do people know the parents of a chick with mixed eggs in the incubator?

Hi! Just turn the baskets upside down

I forgot, I've used a hardware cloth 'fence' to divide the hatcher in half or quarters for different crosses.

I've used cardboard "slats" to divide it. I duct tape it to the sides.

Thanks all for the good ideas.
