New incubator

{ 10:16, Wednesday 28 March 2007 } { 5 comments } { Link }
I picked up an egg incubator yesterday.  We've decided to hatch our own eggs from now on.  I need to order a candler today then we'll start gathering eggs. I thought I'd turn this into a homeschool project too.  I'm looking into setting up a live cam to internet broadcast the hatch.

Has anyone here hatched their own eggs?  Do you have any hints or suggestions?  I've done a lot of research but I'm sure everyone learns something in the process they wished they'd known before their hatch. If you have I'd love to hear about it!

I have started hatching my own eggs but I made my own incubator and I am not sure if it will work or not. If it doesn`t we will try again. I think I am going to invest in a incubator because like I said I don`t know if mine will work or not. I have a book that shows how to make your own candler. I hope it works out for you. Sheryl

Thank you ladies

I'd make my own candler, but I want one that can candle the eggs without us picking them up. I don't want to mess with the eggs too much once they are in the incubator.

ZooNana: "Has anyone here hatched their own eggs?"

Just ovarian ones, ZooNana, and that didn't take a whole lot of effort from me. *chuckle*

I think I'm giddy from singing Monkee tunes all morning!! *LOL* Just couldn't resist that joke!

Love ya~ Andrea

I would LOVE it!

I cannot remember if I posted in reply the day you said it on the boards. I would LOVE to see your eggs hatch. Also I missed them hatching on a site I was watching. You can call me and say HEY! turn on your computer! lol
