[CHICKENS-101] Incubator questions...please share your experience or thoughts

 

Hello Fellow Flock Keepers,

I am interested in hearing the pros and cons of hatching eggs in an incubator.

I would love to hear of recommendations on Brand, type, air or still air, hygrometer or not, etc. for which our members have had experience.

 

I have always used Mother Nature with a broody Momma Hen to hatch out any chicks.  I run a mixed flock (mostly rocks, cochins, naked necks, araconas, brahmas, black stars) with 4 roosters and 45-50 hens, at any given time.  Generally, I will have a broody hen, but am not always able to separate her to ensure that her eggs remain safe, unbroken and the age of the eggs are stable.  They are free range, but do lay and roost in an enclosed barn for protection.

 

Thanks in advance for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience.

Debbie and all of the “kids” in AZ
