Incubating in my bra: An experiment.

[Amerauchick17]

We have a dog named Chi Chi. Later found out that is boobies in Spanish.

That made me giggle Funny story-- When I was little (about 10), I got a White Leghorn rooster from my mom's friend and I tried to name him Pecker. I didn't see what was wrong with that at the time... now, I'm mortified.

LOL... I just about went crazy. I couldn't find ChiChi to turn her in for the night. Looked all over in barn still no dog.... I was entering panic mode and heard her in tbe bantam coop. Evedintly she was sleeping with the chickens and got locked in.

Aww silly dog. My pomeranian mix likes to climb into the chicken coop. She used to steal the false wooden "training egg" from the nest box and I would end up looking all over my huge backyard for the darn thing

I just read opening page of this post, along with a few replies.
There have been threads on this site every year or two about someone attempting to incubate eggs in their bra.
Sometimes it's referred to as a bra-bator.

Here's one thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1825/egg-in-bra-moving-but-its-day-24

Most of the time it hasn't been successful because the temperature in a bra would be too low. I just checked mine and got a reading 96.5*F. Insulating the egg may not help, because it is distancing the egg from the heat source, which would probably drop the temperature another degree. I think it would be better to have the egg in direct contact with the skin. I think in one of the other threads I read, the eggs eventually developed cracks and didn't hatch.

I sure do applaud those who try.

Here's a post I found in another thread. The OP had one hatch and another poster had a few hatch: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/238309/my-bra-baby-is-here-pic/50#post_2820234
