Info on how to create an incubator

[My Kardashihens]

How do I create an incubator and can I get step by step info reguarding temperature and how to put together a cheap - pardon the pun cheep cheep! Incubator from common things around the house- heating ??? Etc I’m a complete novice but my neighbour offered me some eggs that were fertile as my girl was broody out of 6 eggs of varying chickens and ducks she hatched only one and he took it back - I was pretty upset as this wasn’t the plan! So want to try hatching my own and want to know how long I should wait etc after 21 days

Welcome to BYC!

You can go through this forum in the Learning Center which is Brooders and Incubators. There are several dozens of homemade incubators in there.

Most chickens take 21 days to hatch and most ducks take 28 days.

Temps for both are usually 99.5F and humidity until lockdown is 45-50%; lockdown 65-70%.
