I voted for both broody hens and storebought forced air incubators. I still use both. The incubator I've been using is the Hova-Bator Genesis 1588.It's been almost four & a half years since @Kiki started this poll.@-Clementine-, @101atworld, @1sellersrobe, @21hens-incharge, @4Grand,

How have you all been? Are you still using the same incubators?
Not much has changed here but we have added two new incubators and aren't using the broody hens as much. We've added an Rcom Maru MX380CD cabinet incubator and a Brinsea Ovation 56 EX Connect.
My geese and Muscovies hatch and brood their own babies. I sometimes let my chickens hatch their own, but usually I use the incubator. And my Saxony and Khaki Campbell ducks don't really go broody at all, so they always have to be hatched either in an incubator or under a Muscovy.
