bird incubator?...depends what type of bird may be too small...unless for like a chicken then that should work. Here's what I now which isn't alot Incubate in moistened vermiculite half covered do not turn transfer the eggs EXACTLY as they are when laid, have heard of some people using waterbase marker and lightly marking the top of the egg so as not to get confused, at 80-95degrees the warmer the shorter the hatching time perhaps 90-120 days. expect 20-60 eggs depending on her size and prior egglaying.They should all be laid within 24 hours and usually at once (but not always)yes transfer the eggs right after egglaying but I don't think it would be wise to hover over female during this time..as she may get super stressed.Lots of home made incubators..I don't have the address of the websites tho...please do a net search or archive search at top right of your screen this Forum under "incubators" or egg-laying for more info.
Never had a female lay eggs...hope I never will!I'm also not sure if this information is correct..so double check via archive check, and at MKs site
Good luck to you Augusto!
