So, we bought an incubator the other day to try to get some baby chicks to hatch. My husband had hens and roosters growing up but they never incubated them. I know nothing about it. Do any ladies have any tips or information for us? I’m not sure if it’s more of a trial and error thing or if there’s a really good way to make it work. I’ll keep trying to find a reliable source to help us out too, the internet is a tricky thing 😝 thanks in advance!

I let our hens hatch them, so much easier. 😅 but @lovelymomma. Might be able to give some tips!

Thanks! Does it take a while for them to learn to do it themselves?

nope! They got that mothers instinct, once that baby fever or in their case "broody mood" hits its over, your gonna have chicks and the hen will fight you for it. Lol!

Lots of research from different sites ( you’ll learn something new from each article and webpage 😂) and just hope for the best is what I did!! I threw them in and prayed they grew! Nothing really much as in trail and error so far I’ve noticed! It’s very nerve wracking when u feel like I don’t know what ur doing but YOU GOT IT!!
