is it posible to incubate a chicken egg using body heat?

[MissChick@dee]

Would somebody take Lumpy fishing. Ima’ gonna hold my breath until then.....

007 IF Lumpy IS a child and not a troll cracking a cold one and living large on his iPhone....Then he should be going down this road of hatchery WITH his father or mom not sitting in front of a screen or iPhone

Ok so this wasn't a concern for me I'm not going to get into depth why, but just now that if there was another case of pinkeye, I would not catch it even with direct contact. Anyways, I read some of it but then realized it would also aply to the egg, so it would just get sick. OK I'll stop. Maybe later in life, I will try again maybe with some plastic wrap around the egg or maybe... Well for anyone else out there that pondered this, just don't not because it won't work, but what if it does work but the chicken dies as soon as it comes out? Do you really want that also if anyone has any idea how and where to build an incubator please let me know

Don't be disheartened, I think that you could hatch this egg if you tried, maybe keep it warm with your body heat until you can build an incubator. Perhaps show your Mom or Dad this post:

How to make a cheap homemade incubator-
- A styrofoam cooler or container like this:

- A lightbulb 30-40 watts is best for a small cooler
-A thermometer(For telling the temperature of your incubator)
-A hydrometer(For telling the humidity of your incubator)

Optional
-An egg candler(For shining into your egg to see if a chick is growing)

Fix the lightbulb securely to the top of the cooler. for humidity, I'd reccomend misting the egg with water,

Please show this too your Dad, he'll probably be able to help.

I'll tag a couple of peeps who have made 'bators before.

You want to keep the egg in a sports cup... against your crotch?
Are you serious?

I've only read the first couple posts in an effort to save time.

Build a bator.

You'll need a styrofoam container,
Wire with plug
A 60W bulb
Socket
Thermostat.

Get an adult to help.

Line the socket up halfway up the wall of the container and cut a hole just large enough to fit the socket in securely. Do not put it in yet.

Being very careful, wire the wire to the lightbulb, then screw the lightbulb into the socket.

Line the thermostat up centered in the wall of the container and cut holes to secure the thermostat from the inside with the wiring facing outside.

Wire the thermostat to the same wire connected to the light.

Secure the thermostat and light. Plug the wire in and let the incubator run for an hour while you work to stabilize temperature.

Go back and read everything.
You will pee in your pants.

I agree with @lazy gardener. I don't think it's worth the risk. Kind of cool, but not practical. Eggs are meant to be hatched by chickens or incubators, not people directly.

This is literally the best thing I've read in a while

Did you throw the egg out?
