I was using a terrible little incubator just because it was super cheap and i wanted to try it. I managed to get one of the two eggs to hatch, but it went three days over due. Chickie is currently living in an old fish tank in the kitchen with a heat lamp. It's a noisy little thing, but cute as all get out. I keep calling it a "he" but lets hope it is actually a she so we can keep it.
This is amazing, really. i want a real incubator, so I can do this right next time.
Surprise Chicklet actually looks like a chicken now!
ReplyDeleteHooray, it hatched!
ReplyDeleteIn my experience, chicks will go a bit later if the heat is a bit on the cool side. I think cells don't multiply at quite the right speed so the whole process slows down.
Congrats!
