Hello,
I decided to make and design my own incubator so I ask what does an egg need to hatch? What temp heat? How long? One sided or two sided heat? I just need to know the mechanics of hatching a chicken egg, I don't want to do research because I will be tempted to look at someone's design or a commercial one and take ideas from it, I want to see how high of a hatch rate I can get and compare it to other hatchers on here. I have never hatched a chicken egg before, never seen the schematics or mechanics of a commercial incubator, I will build mine simply on the need of the egg with stuff I have laying around or have access to at work ext. so let me know the basics and I will go from there. Thanks
John
