[Krazy_chicken_lady1205]

i found a cheap incubator at tractor supply i could pick up today it is a still air would it work for the chick? https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/little-giant-still-air-incubator?cm_vc=-10005 heres a link to it, would a still-air or forced air be better for the egg

Forced air maintains temperature better and more evenly throughout the incubator, so they are easier to use.

I'd go with that, if its not a big deal to buy one.

(warning, hatching is addictive... so it could get a lot of use)

That's one that I have, and they are fantastic. If you think you might ever do some incubating, it's a great investment.

well i just went out there to check on the to make sure it wasn't broken and looks like they kept getting in and out and eventually stepped on it I'm so upset, is it still worth keeping it?

So sorry.

So sorry.

should i still try to incubate it or is to far gone?

With that amount of blood, I would suspect it won't make it.

I also love my Nurture Right incubator, and agree with Pyxis, its a great investment if you think you will ever want to hatch eggs. If not, I'd go with a cheaper one for emergencies.

I dropped one once and it bled a little and survived, so I guess there is a slim chance it could live.
