Chicken egg incubator

[grapevine]

Maybe this fits in the home improvement section. Any urban people raise chickens? I have sometimes growing up myself. Been shopping on amazon and googled incubators. Many people have hens to lay eggs as you don't need a rooster.

Funny story on that two years ago my niece not yet seven wondered how we kept the eggs from hatching. I didn't feel it was my place to explain the birds and bees of that part and hens don't need to be fertilized to lay eggs by the rooster.

Many cities don't allow roosters as they are too loud. For those that raise chickens how many use incubators to hatch eggs? If you don't just buy chickens that is. Do some use hens still? I heard many lost there sitting extinct as they are hatched artificially now eggs. Too bad they did not lose a rhyming instinct. At least on your car that is. Though they make good fertilizer somewere else.

I been looking at amazon and googled incubators myself. In Jr High and High School biology I participated in an egg hatching exercise. We had to turn the eggs though.

For those that do what kind of incubators do you use, ones that automatically turn the eggs? And were is the best place to find an incubator. I am sure many posters have chickens for meat and eggs. Wonder if any use incubators or I would be a revolution on cuf If I use one.

In South Central, my neighbors had roosters and hens. I'd wake every morning to the rooster's cries. We rented the house, but I've kept the garage and half the yard as a work/art studio, and I've been thinking I want to get some egg-laying hens. I don't know why you would need an incubator though, if you don't have a rooster. And if you do have a rooster, then just let the hens sit on those eggs. That is what my neighbors do, and they have little chicks popping out like popcorn popping on the apricot tree.
