By the way, this reminded me of my last hatch — I used a HatchingTime CT incubator and it made things a lot easier to manage before the chicks moved into a setup kind of like yours. I’ve been thinking of trying it in a more “natural” way next time, maybe letting a broody hen handle part of the process or keeping it in a less controlled spot like the porch.

Has anyone here tried that kind of setup? Curious how well these incubators handle a bit of temperature swing. Here’s the one I used for reference: https://hatchingtime.com/collections/incubators
