I Built A Wooden Incubator.

[Cyprus]

Hello everyone!
A month or two ago my dad and I built an incubator out of wood.
Eventually I will make an article about the build.
First we set 42 Easter Egger eggs that were transferred over. A heat spike killed most of the eggs, but 2 eggs hatched. Both chicks unfortunately died young from complications. But both were male, so...

Now I have set several shipped eggs. I have set Bantam Light Brahmas, D'Uccles and bantam Sicilian Buttercups.

I left for two weeks while the eggs incubated and most of the eggs are due to hatch on Thursday the 16th.
About half are viable. I figured I'd make a thread to follow the hatch and hopeful success of my incubator.

Here's to hoping for some healthy chicks.

Just candled going into lockdown.
1 Sicilain Buttercup egg is still going
3 or 4 (didn't mark them) Light Brahma eggs are still good
6 D'Uccle eggs are still good.

The SB egg has the aircell on the wrong end.

Fingers crossed for a successful hatch!
Will you be keeping them after they hatch?

So sorry on your EE eggs

I will be keeping all of the D'Uccles and maybe a few Brahmas.

That’s great! Will these be your new breeders?
