I was checking over the incubator section last night and found a really neat plan by Miss Prissy for making an inexpensive incubator from a styrofoam cooler or box. It might be just the thing you need.

I go into lcokdown tomorrow at noon with my first hatch ever. YAY

My mama hen hatched out 9 this week, aren't they soooo cute???

I just set 40 more eggs into the bator 2 days ago and I'm off and running again! Yay

I will be setting the following eggs within the next wee:

10 Olive Eggers
18 Easter Eggers
12 Chukar

All my eggs were received via mail order. Having 50% of these eggs hatch will be technically a 100% hatch rate. I'm shooting for at least 150%

I am still waiting on the extra incubators to arrive so I can have the three species seperated...

I will be candling tonight as lockdown on my 12 eggs starts early in the morning!

Due to hatch on the 4th....my little freedom chicks!

She flew over to the fence row ...chirping trash about me -- even after her hubby showed up.

That is one of the funniest things I think I have ever read...

Hello! I've been lurking here at BYC for almost a year. I sincerely want to thank you guys for such a wonderful forum and source of information. This incubating thread in particular gave me the courage to order fertilized eggs to start my first flock.

I have 18 Welsummer eggs from Whitmore farms in my incubator due to hatch July 1 - tomorrow. I'm really hoping that someone is online because I need a little bit of reassurance. I have an early bird, we'll call him Spike. I watched him pip and zip and it was awesome! He was just born 10 minutes ago. He's my first chicken ever. He's cute as a button. My concern is, he seems angry as all get out. He's screaming his head off in the 'bator behind me and he's kicking all the other eggs around. I know I'm not supposed to open the incubator and that I need to just leave him in there.

Could someone please tell me this in normal? *help*

 

[PandoraTaylor]

Yep totally normal.....
he is angry that he is alone, and no one has joined him yet....He is really just encouraging the others along....
