No hatching. But im expecting 50 freedom rangers ssometime around 4/17.

I did build a Styrofoam cooler incubator last year. Id love to try it but need to get my hands on some fertile eggs.

Heating pad nest box incubation experiment is complete, total of 9 live chicks hatched using this method. Once it was streamlined and I learned how to use it, it was extremely easy and stable to use, only added water to the soil at the beginning while building my nest and then didn't have to add anymore humidity. The box held temps extremely well and it was easy to find the right temps on the controls.

Had a great time experimenting with this new method and will be using it again next month to hatch out my first heritage line Plymouth White Rocks from breedings done here on my land.

Congratulations!

I finally bough a used Hovabator on cl. I have 6 eggs in for my trial run
Were 7 days in and I candled. 5 look good. Very exciting.

But you know......don't count your chickens before they hatch.
