incubator's ??


Recommended Posts


brinsea or octagon

Do you want a manual/semi auto or fully auto?

 

:icon_redface: :icon_redface: not too sure i've kept chickens before and im looking at getting some again, so thought it could be a nice experiance for the kids if we started from scratch with the eggs.

 

so i'm a bit of a novice :icon_redface:

Ok with a manual incubator you have to turn the eggs yourself several times a day, the semi auto is the same as a manual except the tray moves manually turning all the eggs at once saving a bit of time but not much

A fully auto has a motor attatched and turns the eggs for you.

 

For the last 3days of hatching you should turn off the motor/stop turning the eggs

When the chicks hatch/once all the chicks have hatched you remove them from the inci and keep them in a brooder

You need to buy the tray for quail/bantam eggs though, should be cheap enough though
