So, I saw this guy on YouTube his channel name is A Chick Called Albert and he hatched a duck egg with his body heat. So I watched his video and followed his instructions on how to make the contraption. Today, or rather tonight I decided to go through with it and start, I'm going to use a chicken egg. I will try to do at least on update a day and if I have bad results I will update so that people have answers, so hear I go.
 
I'm starting anew when my speckled sussex lays her egg. The egg from last night was refrigerated and I decided was a test egg to make certain it would get warm enough. My specked sussex egg could hatch a pure SS or it could hatch a SS black australorp chick. It depend on which of the boys got the job done.

Wow! Well good luck! Keep posting!
 
You might find this thread interesting:

That person tried several times, and had several failures. I don't remember any making it to hatch, but I might have missed on somewhere in all the pages.
I have read that, 3 people had success, but that area of the body is very unregulated and you cannot make the temp stay steady. There has been several people who used this method and succeeded.
