So, Ive got a banty rooster and some hens. But not sure if the hens are broody, Ive got some nest boxes set up for them, with some eggs in them! Ive caught 2 of them laying in the boxes a couple times, but its pretty cold right now! Not to sure if they are going to hatch.
So we want to make an incubator. Im going to look into how much it costs to get one tomorrow, but Id much rather make my own. Ive seen a few plans on the internet for some made out of cardboard or a fish tank!
Ive got a 50 W heat lamp that Im going to use.
Any one have any suggestions for us??
Oh and what about temperatures? And what do I do with the chicks once they have hatched?
Thanks!!
