well let me start by saying that i am hatching eggs for the first time. I bought one of those incubators that hold 3 chicken eggs. its very small and cheap but i figured since i am a full time student on line and a stay at home mom i had the time to focus on the incubator. So far they all look to be developing very nice but i have to say i am very nervouse. I am thinking about purchasing a better more expensive incubator for next time. if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. i am looking to spend about 200-300 dollars next time. i am farely new to hatching but i have raised chickens through most of my childhood. my grandfather had a farm and he would alwasy bring me the babies that were hurt or something so i could make them healthy again and then he would take them back. i really loved that time in my life and i want to share that experince with my son. i know he would love it just as much as i did. i am currently trying to hatch 3 silkies so we will see if my good fortune continues. like i said if anyone has any suggestions on my current incubator or the purchase of a better one that would be great. i am having trouble keeping the temperature consistent but i monitor them about every half hour and most of the time i can keep it at 100 but sometimes it fluctuates. the heat is there from a small lightbulb (like i said a cheap little incubator)well thank you for reading and i hope to get to know everyone better through this fun and exciting process
