Question

Can I hatching chicken eggs in cotton balls?

Answer 1

You do need a incubator but you do not need an automatic turner,,you can do that your self..

Answer 2

no!!!!!!!!! do you know anything about hatching eggs??? They must have a heat source. You need an incubator. buy one with automatic turning. They provide the temperature and humitidy eggs need to hatch. And yes they must have both!!!!! A cotton ball will not keep the egg warm. And the eggs you buy at the store won't work either. A fertile embryo can not servive in temperature under 60 degrees so don't refrigerate the eggs!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

I don't recommend it

Answer 4

No,you need an incubator so you can control the temperature and the humidity.You dont need a automatic turner, i hand turn mine 3 times a day.And i candle them twice during incubation to insure they are fertile eggs and the embryos are growing.
