Does a chicken egg incubator need a cover? I made a homemade chicken incubator for the chicken eggs I recently got. I also got an incubator that holds 3 eggs. The incubator that I bought seems to keep the heat in better than the homemade one but both thermometers read 100 F. When I take the eggs out to turn it, the ones in the store bought incubator seems a lot warmer than the homemade incubator. Could this be because I have no cover for the homemade incubator? Thanks

Will this chicken egg incubator work? OK I took a big cardboard box, and put a heating pad on the bottom of the box. Then I took a old towel and placed over the heating pad.

Can electrical storms result in the failure of chicken eggs to hatch? My mother used to say that when there were lots of electrical storms it could result in a bad hatch - the chicks would die before hatching. She said it was the nitrogen put in the air from lightening. We have had many electrical storms and the eggs in my incubator did not hatch, neither did the ones put under a setting hen at the same time. Could it be that my mother was right? I can find no reference to this theory on the Internet. Has anyone else heard of this? Is it scientifically possible that the lightening storms killed the chicks before they hatched? Comments and observations please.....
