New Chicken Owners!

[ChickenNewbie01]

Hi! We are from New Brunswick and found 21 hens on Kijiji, so we went and got them!! We also have a Buttercup Bantam Rooster, he was our first. Now we are looking into hatching our own little chickies! We've got some in the coop now, but Im not sure if our hens are broody, Ive caught 2 sitting in the nests a couple times though. Now we are trying to make a homemade incubator. Been searching the net for ideas, any one have any?

Please go to the coops forum, if you scroll down the list of types of coops, it gets to incubators and people explain how they made their own. Maybe you can get some good tips that would work for you.
