My dad built an incubator (he’s a welder) when I was a kid for the science fair. We had to monitor the humidity and temp and turn manually. A few chicks hatched and brought them in for our display and we obviously won first place 😂

Your daughter has caught on to being gentle with the baby chicks! It’s great to see your family.

So great!

For the excess button quail eggs, you could sell those for snake food (for anyone keeping egg-eating snakes of course).

Brings back old memories . Had the same incubator 50 years ago . Mine didn’t have a circulation fan, yours must have been added . Hatched 2000 or more bobwhite quail with it . The first incubator you showed was really an incubator the heating was meant to be provided by convection from another heat producing source, now that one is old, grandfather hatched turkeys with them .

I hope you try the tiny chickens again. THEY are such characters! Goghillfarms had a couple at one time. their rooster was solid white. They have such big personalities!

When I hatched out eggs 20 years ago, the incubator was just a Styrofoam box with a plastic lid on top and some kind of a heating element and a plastic floor. That's how we bought it and it worked great.

That video was awesome, like you said it doesn't matter how old the "tool" is as long as it works that's all that matters.

You inspired me to have chickens. I have 13 now. I love them. They have such quirky cute personalities. Thank you

i owned one of those, bought in 60's. hatched harold duck. harold ruled the neighborhood for about 10 years till he was run over. bought the incubator from sears farming catalog. I still remember having this working on my bedroom dresser.

Wow! I had the exact same metal incubator back in the 70s, and hatched out so many duck eggs. I’m in my 70’s now and sure got a kick from seeing this. Keep up the good work!

my favorite thing to do is watch your videos while being productive. I clean my horse riding boots, helmet and tack while watching as many videos as I can. It's always a good day when y'all post!

I thought it was pretty cool that you tested an incubator that was 40+ years old.

[carolynnr.]

This was really neat to watch. Thank you.

In splash breeding you get the possibility of hatching: blue, black, and splash! It looks like you got one black, two splash, and the others blue!

[diego_fe]

Omg im needing a incubator. Im wanting to hatch a bunch chicks (brahma breed). Watching all the way from Costa Rica 🇨🇷❤️

[lisadavila]

I was surprised how well the 50 year old incubator worked. Thank you for sharing!

[Smokeycat]

Oh my god! One of the times I’ve been early! I’m so excited for this video! I lost a whole bunch of chickens earlier this year to raccoons, and these videos honestly somehow make me feel better

Good afternoon my friend, it's afternoon my time in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Once again I'll say that I just love how you get all your children involved in helping on the farm. You guys are amazing parents 💝
