Hatching help don't know if it will work

[animalwild]

If I get started on the incubator tomorrow will the eggs be fine in the coop for tomorrow

 

[GitaBooks]

They should be. Just make sure that a hen doesn't poop on them.

Ok I got my supplies do you know the correct humidity and temp it should be at. That would help alot

 

[GitaBooks]

45-50% humidity the first 18 days, then 65% the last few days. Temperatures in incubators with a fan should be around 99 F while those that are still air (no fan) should be around 101 F.

Here is some info on making home-made incubators: http://www.raising-happy-chickens.com/homemade-incubator.html

I have everything I need for the incubators. But Im making two and I only have one of those temperature things. So would it work to just switch it each day to monitor.

I would remove the eggs, ASAP! Leaving them in the coop is not a wise idea. They can be broken, pooped on or just thrown around. A 3 month old hen is way to young to go broody.

Good luck with your home made incubator!

Tonight I was just out and I looked where the eggs where and my little ones weren't near them so they'll be fine. Also if you see the eggs shifted around is that a sign of a hen sitting on them.

 

[GitaBooks]

It is a sign that a hen went and took a peek at them, or perhaps considered that as a laying area, but I doubt any hens thought of it as a broody site.

Okay because I did see one of my hens laying an egg there

Just built my incubator hopefully they hatch
