The Ultimate incubator experiment.

just built this table we got a fun project for today stay right there do you see it isn't it beautiful let's talk about what's going on here so these are all of our incubators it's every incubator we've ever used i used one other uh like one of those little giant ones i borrowed from a neighbor and when we first started hatching eggs but this is every incubator we own there are seven incubators here and we're gonna do the ultimate incubator test you guys ready for this this one's a super cheap one like twenty thirty dollars on amazon brinsy maxi advance probably our number two incubator right now this is the right farm 3600 incubator this is really the incubator we used for the first couple of years this is our main incubator this is the frenzy over easy advanced 100 this one is a beast it does amazing this is one we used earlier this year this is the burrado lumia 16 incubator that one's a lot of fun this is the oh this is the cool this is the diy one that our son eli made earlier this year this is the lego incubator excited to try that this is one more of those cheap ones like 20 25 bucks off amazon so we're gonna test all of our incubators at the exact same time but we need some eggs let's get something really crazy so this is our omelet coop we used this earlier in the year for our bantam flock and they outgrew it but this is perfect for a little breeding flock this thing's great it's got an automatic door simple little access to the nesting box access to the back you can clean out tray for the poop and then a hanging water and feeder right there so now we need are some chickens i've got just the birds i'm the winner got the first one i don't know she's even laying right now though kind of rough looking she's old grab something and you might remember we hatched these guys out almost two years ago now and they are all black and so there's something we definitely want to breed more of go mom go oh we got him who'd we get johnny our all black rooster heading over all right who we got here amber we got amber a sweet americana you want to catch somebody go get chicken all right who's this sandy sandy a cool little easter egger that started laying earlier this year so i am chemanis we hatched them out eggs from ebay almost two years ago now and so we have johnny cash and two i am 20 hens they're cool because they're melanistic where they're all black so even their their tongue their bones their their beak everything about them is all black and then we've got three easter egger americana hens over here so besides their egg colors we want to see what some americana's would look like crossed with i am chamani's earlier this year we crossed i am chamanis and moran's and i am chimani's with sookies and got wu and pat and my homes three cool looking hens now we just need them to stay in here and lay us a bunch of eggs for all of our incubators [Music] so today's video is sponsored by grubterra and we just got a package from them let's open it up all right we got the bag so we partnered with grub tara last year they were doing a fundraising campaign on indiegogo and they came out with some one pound bags of soldier fly larva and now they've just come out with a five pound bag this thing is humongous and it's pretty cool they actually take 20 pounds of food waste to create one pound of food or chicken treats for your chickens let's open this up and give some to johnny cash and girls of course we raise meal worms here on our farm and these black soldier fly larva actually have 75 percent more calcium than our meal worms do so not only is it helping up cycle food waste also creating a healthy treat for your chickens and it's also helping a small business and we're all about that here at white house on the hill come on johnny so we'd love for you to try some we've got a link down in the description and then use our code oth 10 for white house on the hill and get 10 off your order of grub tara now let's start incubating some eggs all right we've been collecting eggs over the last couple weeks you can see that we have significantly more americana easter eggs quite a few less i am chamani eggs we've got one six seven eight i am chamani eggs and sixteen easter egg eggs so we'll have one i am chamani egg in every incubator and then a couple easter egg eggs and the other ones and then if we get a few over the next couple days we'll get them in the incubators as well so let's start to put them in the incubator and show you our incubator lineup all right here are my predictions for what will happen i don't think these will hatch this one i can't control the temperature lego in computer i think i'll get one to two the burrato i think i'll get three or four i'll guess three out of those five here i'm guessing three out of the four here i'm guessing two we'll get two out of four here i'll get three three out of the four and here i'll get one let's have some fun hatch out some champions [Music] so outside it's freezing and inside we've got eggs that are about a week away from hatching everything's been pretty stressed out here as far as trying to control the temperature because a lot of the clear containers just can't keep out the cold weather this incubator just never quite worked right i could never get the the temperature controlled at 56 degrees no chance those eggs are hatching lego incubators looking good it's actually in temperature having the blanket over it but humidity is one hard thing to control in there a couple of these i have to manually rotate the eggs on lego incubator is one of those and just making sure the heat gets to all parts of the egg throughout the process our italian incubator the burrato lumia 16 it actually keeps good temperature i don't even have to have this covered this one does really good job probably second best of all the incubators next to the ovz that i don't have to worry about the temperature really at all over here the right farm it's keeping good it's keeping good temperatures cheap little circular dome deal i can't get the temperature to go up at all anymore it's at 65 and i can't get it to to go up anymore even with having it covered and then our maxi advance it's keeping good temperature so i don't have to worry about that too much but the blanket really helps so that shows you a little bit as far as what you have to do to help regulate these if you are in a an area where you don't have heating the maxi advance and the lego incubator it really helps to have some covering and then the other two are just junk so go ahead and just if you open them out of the box just go ahead and throw them away because they're not going to work for you so it is day 19 and it's time to check the oh sorry got me on halloween night here dress up like a chicken silly me you know what i'm gonna keep it on i'm gonna keep it on just for this time to switch all these incubators over switch them from rotating switch them to getting the eggs ready to hatch so each incubator's got a different thing to do for it this one i've already taken out i've already taken out the egg turner i'm going to leave these alone took the blanket off today because it was really warm out and now it's getting cold again so i need to put the blanket back on tonight for them to hatch now we're getting to the verado lumia so this one i need to take the egg turn around lay the eggs down flat on this clear bottom in this incubator we've got one egg that's starting to pip here at the brimsy over easy advance we need to stop the rotating and so right now it's on an angle that's the first step that'll keep it from rotating but then i also need to turn off the rotation and then we can also take out the dividers if we'd like to let's see how we're doing in here oh we've got an i am chamani egg that's pipping i can take out a divider now we're at the right farm incubator there's another one with an egg turner inside that i need to take out no eggs pipping that i could see there this one i need to cover up with the blanket again it's getting a little low but we do need to remove that egg turner in there and i need to change the settings oh man can you hear that i can hear eggs chirping at me in here all right so the eggs that have a chance to hatch no chance no chance i've got 13 americana i am chamani mix eggs and i've got nine pure i am chimani eggs let's see what [Music] hatches there's no excuses no one to blame sometimes i can't understand how we can be someone to stay out of pain but with you everything has changed even though we both say the same would you call me will you come over when nothing's right [Music] we just had our first chick finish hatching doing really well this is a blonde americana crossed with i am chamani i think this is probably amber crossed with johnny cash [Music] check over here on the brimsy maxi advance i've got three chicks i've hatched out so far and i've got two more in the works this one is getting [Music] can't close how we can be so hard to stay out of pain but with you everything has changed even though we both stay the same [Music] even as we're having a [Music] you fight joey ready ready i am always nervous the day after we moved the chicks into the brooder hoping they all stayed warm enough last night yay seven healthy chicks in their cute little blonde one i'll put you back in with your friends button quail been laying a lot of little tiny little eggs for us eggs are smaller than a quarter can you believe that oh you know what we need to let johnny cash know that he's a he's a daddy again what's up johnny you're a papa hi beak we do get a lot of questions about i am chamani's and if they are well tempered we did have a couple crazy roosters back when we had some iron money roosters oh my god where's that peacock you're horrible what are you doing but johnny always was the calmest and that's why we kept it so in every breed even the wild ones sometimes there's a good egg and johnny is one of those [Music] [Music] hmm good job i lost so hopefully that gave you guys a good idea on where to get started with incubators brands and styles and what to look for what kind of problems they might have especially trying to hatch this time of year if you don't have a temperature controlled room for them so hopefully i discourage you from some of the really cheap incubators and just be aware of if you have to manually turn the eggs or fill the water in the incubator frequently but those are things that you're prepared to do now as far as the chicks we hatched out we have four pure i am chamani chicks and three americana i am shimani mixes of course i am chamanis are known for their being all black from their feathers to their skin to their beak even down to their bones [Music] thank you for watching see you next time okay i'm going to turn oh
