I think incubating is pretty ethical. However, I'm not a fuzzy little chick.

And, even if it were unethical, I would still do it!

Yeah I incubate my eggs because I don't have any broody hens, and as others have said - I WANT CHICKS!

If I had a broody hen, I'd certainly take that into consideration and let her do the work, but I, for the moment, do not have any broodies and don't know when that would happen. So, I'd rather just have my eggs get incubated and hatched on time.

EDITED:
I liked what you said.
"I think the folks incubating the eggs suffer more than the chicks do when they have an unsuccessful hatch."

I believe that yours is a very unbiased opinion.

Here in the south we like to say K.I.S.S. = keep it simple sweetie........ and that is what you did.

Thanks for what all you said.

We take honey from the bees.
We take milk that belongs to the young calves.
We eat the eggs of the hen that was to be the promise of young chicks to her.
And what we do to the Angus beef and Hamshire pig... oh my...

Oh, and we cut our hay BEFORE it goes to seed and feed it to our animals. Oh my...

I think this is a slippery path we don't want to go down.
