Which is best for hatching and raising chicks - an incubator or a broody hen?
There’s a lot to learn about using an incubator to hatch chicks – you need to maintain just the temperature, humidity, ventilation, turn the eggs enough and in the right way and stop turning at the right time. With a broody hen, she knows all that stuff and does it all for you.
But a hen is broody on her own schedule, not when you want her to raise chicks. And she'll probably only raise one brood per year, whereas with an incubator you can hatch dozens of chicks in a year.
Both an incubator and a broody hen have advantages and disadvantages. Which is best depends on what you want, what you have, and what best suits your purpose. I hope this video will give you the information you need to help you decide which is best for you.
