That would be the best way to go and much cheaper than my new incubator.
Plus they are so cute.

Well, Very few of my eggs showed any signs of life. I was thinking it was because my temperature at egg level was low but I had several good hatches at that same temperature. It was reading 100 degrees on top shelf. I hadn't put a thermometer at egg level all year. I decided to check temperature at egg level and it was 98 degrees. That thermometer could be off also. With temperatures so high it could have been the heat during shipping. IDK bummer though!

My silkies don't do the Bator thing for me :/ I've only had 1 sit once and she gave up lol. My silver penciled rock girl takes care of things in that aspect though lol

Yep, Out of 43 eggs only 11 shows signs of life. 2 Whites, 1 Blue Copper, 4 Wheaten/Blue Wheaten, 4 Blue silver Cuckoo. He packed them the best I have ever seen. I really believe it was the heat during shipping.

My new incubator is ready for eggs next year. Lol I still need to put my auto waterer up. My husband built me a stand out of scraps to put my incubator on. It gives me a place to put my hatching trays and water also.

It was hot today so she was panting.
