Chook Me!

I HAVE MADE A HOMEMADE INCUBATOR! IS IT WORKING?

I didnt think it was gonna work. i have a 40 watt bulb, a fan, a bowl of water and a thermometer. i keep it at 100 degres F. i didnt think it was gonna work but on day 10 i candled them and i could see the embryo and veins. will it work until the end. like will they hatch? PS. im hatching chicken eggs.

1. IF YOU CAN SEE THE EMBROY AND VEINS ITS WORKING FINE JUST KEEP WATCH YOU MIGHT WANT TO CRANK THE HEAT A LIL
2. If their developing than yes, they should hatch. Make sure you're turning them 3 to 4 times a day until the third day before they are supposed to hatch! Be aware that the chicken hatching success rate isn't always very high, so if only 60% or so hatch, don't feel like it was you're fault, its probably pretty good considering that its a homemade model.
