I'm probably crazy but I'm going to try hatching a egg with my body heat. Hatch-Along

[TheCluckyClucker2]

true, but 5 days adds up after doing it countless times just to check

True enough. It would be hard for me. I am not can not be a couch potato. It is hard for me to wait 5 days with an incubator.

i have not yet incubated eggs but i hopefully will next year

(or i will just let the hens do their thing)

I think this is my last try.

I'd consider making a diy incubator

I prefer my flock raise their own baby chicks and not deal with an incubator at all. I've bought incubators for emergency use but never used them.

Following for updates, never heard of anything like this - surely human body heat will be too cold for this to work - not to mention shaking the egg about walking and such, i guess its a different movement type than turning and can be more stressful?

You add extra insulation to get the temp right, and then do test egg to make certain.
