So after my first failed attempt at a bucket-bator I made one out of a wooden crate. It's primitive but the temp and humidity are steady. Eggs are in and we are shooting for a hatch date of the 25th.
I got eggs from two different people. Eggs are RIR and Comet mixes. I had one accident and an egg busted while cleaning it. I have 15 eggs in the bator.
The first four eggs I got for free
A dozen RIR/Comet mix $5 for the dozen. Got them from a lady who was hatching eggs of her own.

Sophie has been asking me ever couple of hours if the chicks are ready yet. I must admit I wish they'd hurry up!
