Floridachicken, we're going to try the homemade way for sure! When we do I'm sure we'll need some advice..so don't be surprised if I come back looking for help to build an incubator. Lol.
Colie, my problem is not too little humidity, it's too much! My house generally has a humidity level of 60%, so getting the humidity low for me can be problematic. I'd love to know how many eggs you can get to fit into the
Brinsea . Another question, since you let them hatch upright and in the rails, do they have any room to walk around in the bator? You know how chicks love to walk all over the other eggs..
50% hatch rate from shipped eggs sounds pretty good to me compared to some rates that I've heard.
Yes I know about LG's and I don't think I would ever spend my money on one of those. My friends have one and we had a good hatch once over at their house. But I've borrowed their LG and the hatches that I've done in it since then have done poorly. I tend to only borrow it for emergencies now. Which, thankfully, I haven't had many of this year. I'll look into the Falls Harvest incubators, and I've been hearing a good bit of good news about the Hova Bator 1588 also and I'll definitely be looking into that one more.
Thanks for your help
. Other opinions are greatly welcomed too!
I just hatched out several silkie chicks and have half a dozen partridge. The partridge coloring is so different in each chick. What should it look like?
