Sally Sunshine is awesome!! She knows all there is to know about the subject of incubating and hatching.Phionex Boy, you can see that nobody wants you to leave this thread.Everyone is welcome. Different topics are welcome too. One thing that may help you understand why the topics bounce around is that some of us have been chatting on this thread for over 2 years! We know each other and have kind of built a history together based on being friendly, positive, and supportive of each other. New people join the thread all the time, and I love it because it gives me more people to learn from and have as BYC friends.
I wish I knew more about how to help you with your incubator project, but I have only hatched eggs under broody hens so far. I did look for some BYC places where you might get ideas. http://Homemade Chicken Egg Incubator Designs & Pictures is good. (I like the first one by Gator Boy). I'll add on some more threads if I see anything else that looks good.
If you do build an incubator, I'd love to see some pictures! (I just won't be able to help you.)
Adding this great article by Sally Sunshine that gives you the basics of hatching eggs in general. There's tons of useful info here. http://Hatching Eggs 101
looks like a roo right?
