INCUBATING and HATCHING EGGS

[jaybob54]

Ok so have a big barn like a 20x50 and my chickens roost and lay eggs. so up at the top of the barn In the rafters I have 3 bantam chickens that are setting on eggs.
I am planning on buying a incubator that only holds about 3 eggs that is only about $17.40. If one of my two roosters fertilizes the eggs will they survive in the incubator and hatch out.??
Does the humidity have to be right for them 2 hatch out.??

Home to: 2 cats, a yellow lab puppy, and a boston terrier, 2 horses and LOT"$ OF CHICKEN$.

Yeh it is a cheap lil plastic toy meant for children and classroom experiments.. If you are seriously wanting to try incubating, spenda 20 the extra 20 bucks and make a coleman cooler incubator like I have

or a little giant for 40 bucks. i have 2 one with an egg turner and a fan costum built cost me nothing but an old computer fan and a phone charger it works perfect. the other is my hatcher there is a fan in it but i dont use it when the eggs are hatching. either way my incubator methods work better than your basic still air or basic home made incubator IMHO..

40$ will pay for itself easy.
