EGG INCUBATION INFORMATION:

It isn't really difficult to artificially hatch chicken eggs in an incubator, as long as you follow a few guidelines:  Make sure your incubator is up and running for several days before you plan to put eggs in it and make sure you have an accurate thermometer.

This is a great website from Mississippi State University on the care and incubation of hatching eggs:  http://www.msstate.edu/dept/poultry/hatch.htm#cond   I couldn't have said it better myself!

Good luck and please email me with any questions!
