absolutely the more the merrier also i though i would ask what type of incubators everyone is using and prefers i have a still air and this is our second hatch. so glad i invested in another digitial thermometer and hygrometer cause the thermometer it came with is obviously not accurate which i was worried about so now im thinking probably wht happened last time is when i had a temp spike that read 102 it was way higher resulting in dead embryos boo hoo

was not good anyway hoping for better luck this time.

and luck to all of you. also who else will be candleing friday i like to candle about 3 or four times during the incubation sometimes more if im unsure on one. neway ill post when i do gonna be a hard couple days i can hardly wait til the first candleing.

I have a homemade incubator that I have yet to use because one of my girls keeps going broody at just the right times. I love having a broody hatch my eggs for me though, it takes all the work out of it for me!

I took her golf balls away today and gave her 8 olive egger eggs. Can't wait to see what I get in 21 days!

I'm using an incubator that I made too. I used a small styrofoam cooler, cut out a part of it and duct taped a piece of glass from a dollar store picture frame on it and got a light kit and thermometer/hydrometer from Lowes. I have a little Sizzle that keeps teasing me about going broody but so far it hasn't stuck.

I would like to join in, I just finished my first hatch and am expecting shipped eggs this week. I am using the Brinsea Eco 20.

Cool

Hehe, I think my broody might be too small to sit on 8 eggs. Every time I check on her there is one popping out from under her wing.

Is her nest banked up around her?

Is her nest banked up around her?

Yeah it is. I'm not worried about it really, I just think it's funny. I know she's doing a great job!

Can I join? I set 11 eggs this evening. This is only my second time. I have a GQF 1202 incubator. I realize I'm a few days late !

i have 18 sebright eggs in a Farm innovator 4200 with an automatic egg turner. i also have a Farm innovator 2100 (using it as a hatcher). the difference between the two: the 4200 has a hard plastic outer shell and the 2100 doesnt (it is styrofoam). both have a built in hydrometer (which i LOVE) and both have a built in thermometer (which i think is inaccurate). but over all it holds the temp very well.
