Yeah, I've tried. My hens are slackers. They'll be on the eggs a few days and then get off. Gotta be warm all the time. In the past I just ended up with a bunch of half developed eggs which is good for nothing...except more chicken food lol.
Huh. Well, then an incubator makes sense. We had one when I was a kid and we hatched a bunch of Gamble's quails. We'd put the microphone from our tape recorder against the side of the incubator when it was time for them to hatch and hear the little peeping sounds from inside the eggs. It was very educational to watch them hatch and see them grow up. Good times.
