Hatching Chicken Eggs

We raise chickens, and have a rooster.  So we decided to try and hatch out a few eggs after loosing one of my kids favorite hen.  She was a silver phoenix breed, and so is the rooster.  So we took one of her eggs and a few from the other hens, and got an incubator to try and hatch them.  And surprisingly 4 out of the 5 eggs actually hatched.  We now have 4 chicks we are raising which would bring our flock from 7 birds to 11 if they are all hens we hatched.  Which would give us 10 hens.  That would give us enough eggs to never have to buy from the grocery store again and then some.  

The incubator I used was very inexpensive on amazon.  It's not perfect, but it works.  There are better ones out there for sure with more bells and whistles.  But for an inexpensive incubator with an automatic egg turner, this works just fine.  Here is a link to that incubator.  https://amzn.to/3xpnzM6
