incubator help

Folks have had success, but I think they recommend getting some of the other larger ones for a higher success rate.

 

I have heard of people using them, but if you watch you can find LG's that have been used for almost the same price! Try posting a wanted add on Craigslist or your local freecycle. You could also see if the local high schools might have one you could borrow. Especially since it is summer! Maybe even a local 4-H club would have one they could lend you. Good luck!

 

Success in those things are few and far between. I have never heard of more than 1 chick hatching at best. Chickens are social and a lone chick doesn't thrive as well as one living with a chick friend. As an unexperienced hatcher I can't imagine you would have very good results. You would be better off with a larger incubator and 6 - 12 eggs.

You can build one. See the link in my signature line. People are building and having great success.
