I was told a funny incubation story and it gives me hope. lol.

I agree completely that we tend to over complicate things. 12 years ago when I was a teenager, I knew nothing about hatching eggs. I bought a cheap styrofoam incubator, and had a 100% hatch rate of almost every type of fowl you could think of. The internet at that time did not have much info on incubating, so I knew nothing of humidity, I just knew keep temp around 100 F & turn 3 times a day.

Now my hatch rates aren't as good as they used to be, and I do measure humdity, have a egg turner, a fan, ect. Maybe I should go back to the basics...

Remember nature doesnt have any of these fancy gizmos....

He never gets in trouble when he is naughty, he just gives me that "you aren't mad...not at ME" look
