I hatched out some balut eggs. Balut is a popular street food in Vietnam.
So I named one of the baluttie babies Street Food.

Oh okay. that's pretty cute.

Oh okay. that's pretty cute.

It's ridiculous but it's stuck...in my head.

Street Foods for everyone.

My Ancona drake is named Terry after a theoretical cat named Teriyaki that has yet to exist. It's a bit of a story... How Terry got his name
I cooked for 11 years, and to be honest I love food names for animals.

The other day I was reading this thread which inspired me to try this experiment.

The goal is to make a hatcher out of stuff one can get a local store instead of buying an incubator.

Parts list:

• 15-quart plastic bin
• Heating pad
• Temp/humidity sensor
• Towel for the base of the bin
• Small container to hold wet cloth
• Small towel for small container
• Gatorade lids to keep container off of the counter top because it's too much of a heatsink.

I still haven't drilled air holes, but will try that next.

I think I have figured out how to get the temperature stable.

Humidity is okay too.

This is very neat! Following along to see how the rest of it goes. Thanks for sharing it!

my baby Streets

I am wondering if @Texas Kiki ate one of her street foods ?

Yes! But not my duck Street Food...I ate the two quail I named (both) Street Food.
. These two quail hatched with a lot of yellow fluff on them.
