The Hatch That BYC Built (aka Frieda vs. the Brinsea!) (Warning--pic heavy)

[lazy gardener]

Do a thread search if you want to build an incubator. There are lots of ideas out there. Check out Rush Lane Poultry.

One last pic before bed...

The glare from the light is pretty bad, but look at the upper right side of the Sulmtaler egg in the center of the frame...

@lazy gardener (or anybody!) what would be a good incubator you could make or buy (read: cheap) that would hold around 6-10 eggs? I have never done anything with brooding chicks exept i had a broody once and i just let her set and she hatched 3. I did take the babies and brooder raise them as she was pecking at them.

If you are interested in incubating, you should join us over on this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...riends-come-hatch-learn-chat-meet-new-friends

Wake up AmyP! Or quit playing with the new chicks and give us an update!

No change.

[FridayYet]

No change.

Oh well, hope you have lots to follow that early bird. How is it doing?
