I have 18 hens and one rooster. The girls are two now. Still laying beautiful eggs, though have slowed over the winter months. They are Red Sex links. Anyway, I have thought of hatching some of my own eggs and I know this sounds stupid, but , none of the girls seem interested in sitting on eggs. What is a good incubator to buy that is not difficult to operate?
How long can eggs sit in the nest before the chances of hatching them diminishes? I dont see as much activity between hen and rooster as I did when he was a year old and feeling his oats. Should I still be able to gather some fertilized eggs from this bunch? sorry for the questions. This forum is amazing. So much good information.
