Last night my only good Rosecomb egg started to zip. And I am not ashamed to say I stayed up to watch.

Glad I did too, because toward the end I noticed the humidity had dropped and membrane was drying and had glued the chick to the egg. So I had assist. My old styro bator has been good to me for almost 9 years, but it looks like I will be looking for a new incubator.

Still, I am very happy with my hatch! Even if I only got one chick.

Mine is a large homemade bator made from a sink cabinet. It opens at the top. I have an old blanket hanging over it and I crawl under the blanket and pull it down over my hips and then open the bator lid. The blanket keeps the heat and moisture from escaping fast. I have even had the lights turn off on me while checking the eggs because the temps were holding so well. It has worked really well for me.

I think though that I am going to go ahead and build out my old dishwasher as an incubator and donate this one to a 4-H kid. This is because I have gastric reflux and to reach the bottom of this bator I have to be in the toe-touching position with the wall of the bator digging into my belly and fighting reflux at the same time.

I can see where that could be a problem and I'm sure who ever gets the incubator will be very happy
