i have been raising chickens for 6 years and hatching them using hens for 4 years and recently decided to try using an incubator that is why I am here.I using an incubator is new to me and I am not liking it so much but I can offer advise for anybody that wants to use hens to hatch eggs.

Greetings from Kansas, 12Chickens, and

! Great to have you here! I'm an incubating rookie myself so I can't offer much advice. I'd suggest posting in the thread below. Be specific about what you are having troubles with - someone should be able to help you out. Good luck to you!

Welcome to BYC. The beauty of hatching with an incubator is that you don't have to wait for a hen to go broody. Keep trying - it gets easier.
