My dad built an incubator (he’s a welder) when I was a kid for the science fair. We had to monitor the humidity and temp and turn manually. A few chicks hatched and brought them in for our display and we obviously won first place 😂
Brings back old memories . Had the same incubator 50 years ago . Mine didn’t have a circulation fan , yours must have been added . Hatched 2000 or more bobwhite quail with it . The first incubator you showed was really an incubator the heating was meant to be provided by convection from another heat producing source , now that one is old , grandfather hatched turkeys with them .
When I hatched out eggs 20 years ago, the incubator was just a Styrofoam box with a plastic lid on top and some kind of a heating element and a plastic floor. That's how we bought it and it worked great.
I hope you try the tiny chickens again. THEY are such characters! Goghillfarms had a couple at one time. their rooster was solid white. They have such big personalities!
i owned one of those, bought in 60's. hatched harold duck. harold ruled the neighborhood for about 10 years till he was run over. bought the incubator from sears farming catalog. I still remember having this working on my bedroom dresser.
Wow! I had the exact same metal incubator back in the 70s, and hatched out so many duck eggs. I’m in my 70’s now and sure got a kick from seeing this. Keep up the good work!
Oh my god! One of the times I’ve been early! I’m so excited for this video! I lost a whole bunch of chickens earlier this year to raccoons, and these videos honestly somehow make me feel better
Good afternoon my friend, it's afternoon my time in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Once again I'll say that I just love how you get all your children involved in helping on the farm. You guys are amazing parents 💝
my favorite thing to do is watch your videos while being productive. I clean my horse riding boots, helmet and tack while watching as many videos as I can. It's always a good day when y'all post!
Serama eggs are the hardest eggs I've tried hatching! They are soooo temperamental. They hatch at 19 days usually. I set them a couple degrees less than full sized eggs and you have to keep the humidity pretty steady. I've had the nest luck with a broody hen
I love you guys! Yes another video from my favorite channel on you tube. You guys always make me smile with gratitude. God bless you and your beautiful family. Your the best!
I know that. I was just talking in general. Typically breeders carry the variety or blue cock over bbs hens. Unless he knew 100% they were ONLY splash pen.
Hi guys I hope you have a great time with each other sadly I lost my chicken just two days ago and I hope you always have brilliant projects ,good attention and Nobel minds continue your business I appreciate it . Thanks for your efforts
I also didn't get a good hatch with my Serama eggs I bought from Ebay. 4 were not fertile, 1 Pipped but nothing more, and the 1 that Hatched was solid white... But He has no white on him now. He's Black, Orange with some Teal & purple shimmer. The only thing with Serama's is they can't be kept Outside in temperatures below 45... 40 at the lowest temps. Needless to say, my Serama Identifies as a Parrot & stays In my House. lol.
Cleaning up and out my parents basement and discovered my old Easy bake oven from the 60's. I put in a new light bulb and it still works! Oh those people who made things back then had to have had a lot of pride in whatever they created to make them last a very long time. Who knew it would last for 3 generations and still be a delight to some little bakers in the making, or bird farmers in your case.
Love watching you hatch out birds. If I started and had your set up in place I'd be neck deep in different breeds! 😅

The last one is a Erminette. Probably the rooster and hens in the eggs you received were Erminettes and not splash. When you mate two erminattes you produce black, white and erminattes but when you mate two splash all the chicks are splash.
When i was a child, we hatched eggs in a cardboard box with a lamp that the light part set in a u shape cut we made in one upper side of the box and put a towel over. We hand turned the eggs and pretty much had a 98 percent hatch rate. We sold those chicks. The ones we let the hens hatch were for our personal use and eggs that we ate and sold. We raised Bantams and Rhode Island reds with no fail. Love the galvanized egg hatcher. My grandmother got one later on but did not keep it for long. There was nothing wrong with it. It worked awesome, she just did not have the permanent space for it and preferred the chickens to hatch them. Not sure what she did it as we did not have it. We preferred the box as it was successful lol.
That was quite interesting seeing the old one function well enough. I think I would only have put a few less valuable eggs in there to try it. But the fact you were getting no-go's from the modern incubator was encouraging ; in that the problem was with the eggs, not the incubator. The mottled chicken is VERY beautiful. You need about 10 to twenty more.👌
If you ever have trouble getting rid of your button quail eggs check out your local pet store. ... Or someone that breeds snakes or lizards. Certain snakes and lizards eat button quail eggs.,... And the only place you can find to buy them are in Asian markets.
I was going to say the same thing. Or freeze them in a air tight freezer bag then sell on line. I was also thinking he could dehydrate them and make them for people that feed their dogs raw dog food as treats.
ohh my gosh I just stumbled across your family's account on youtube again, and i've never been so happy to see you all thriving. I remember watching when I was younger, seeing you guys get your very first cow, and your lego incubator chick! You guys have grown so much and so have all of the animals. it makes me so happy to know you're all doing well 🥹
There is just something so satisfying swing eggs batch. Thank you for uploading this type of content which allows me and others said up to be able to watch this in the morning. 🐥🐥🐥
I have now subscribed to keep in check with your videos as they help me to wake up as I find it difficult to as I have autism and adhd I highly appreciate your effort to bring new life to this world and to inspire and show that you don't need stupidly expensive equipment to do the same as what you do in your videos. Again thank you.
I made a home made incubator in the later 80s from a styrofoam cooler and it worked great. A cut out some of the top and taped a thick weather plastic top and bottom of the top to see in. had a small lamp with a 25 watt bulb for heat cutting a place on the side of the cooler to fit it. on the bottom I put some rocks then a piece of hardware cloth over them so I could put water in. then some foil to adjust the temperature. put some wholes in it. I kept it in a large closet kept the door shut as this helped keep a more steady temp, I was lucky and it kept a steady temp with the apartment having controlled heating, I hatched some quail eggs, and chicken eggs in it. 3 quail eggs hatched out of a dozen, all three chicken eggs, I had some duck eggs that died in the shell when they should have hatched, but fully developed, that was a bummer If only we had internet back then. But was a lot of fun hatching the quail and chickens.
"Hi guys! Your video brightens my day and fills me with hope and energy. Thank you for your beautiful hard work in creating this amazing video! 💐💐❤❤❤"❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
That old incubator is very cool. I think the problem was egg fertility and poor packing, not the incubator. Your Americanas are a mixed bag. They may in fact be Easter eggers. The blue one that fought with the Cemani cockerel is definitely a cockerel itself, and I think one or two of the others are males as well. The white one and the white one with black spots are both pullets. Neither is splash. White coloring with black spots happens when you are dealing with the Dominant White color gene. California White chickens and Erminettes have the same coloring. Splash is a double dose of the blue dilution gene, and is generally a pale blue color with some darker blue areas mixed in. FYI.
My dad had an Incubator that looked something like your old Incubator, that was back in the 1940s and 1950s.....Thanks y'all = GOD BLESS Old F-4 pilot Shoe🇺🇸
I have a 1968 Brower incu that was given to me. Brand new, never used. I hatched 21 of 30 Serama eggs I got from Hawaii (I'm in Louisiana) I rolled them 3 times a day until day 19, they lockdown until hatch2-3 days later. I still use it, works great.
Your daughter has caught on to being gentle with the baby chicks! It’s great to see your family.
... and her little hand- clapping with excitement makes my heart all mushy!
My dad built an incubator (he’s a welder) when I was a kid for the science fair. We had to monitor the humidity and temp and turn manually. A few chicks hatched and brought them in for our display and we obviously won first place 😂
*peaceful calm music* ... *sudden crash of camera falling over* ... *peaceful calm music*
So great!
Haha!
That video was awesome, like you said it doesn't matter how old the "tool" is as long as it works that's all that matters.
For the excess button quail eggs, you could sell those for snake food (for anyone keeping egg-eating snakes of course).
That was my first thought. Button quail eggs are highly sought after in the snake community!
This was really neat to watch. Thank you.
Brings back old memories . Had the same incubator 50 years ago . Mine didn’t have a circulation fan , yours must have been added . Hatched 2000 or more bobwhite quail with it . The first incubator you showed was really an incubator the heating was meant to be provided by convection from another heat producing source , now that one is old , grandfather hatched turkeys with them .
I also had this one!
Wow, that's cool. Thanks for sharing!
Hatching through history, very cool. Thank you.
When I hatched out eggs 20 years ago, the incubator was just a Styrofoam box with a plastic lid on top and some kind of a heating element and a plastic floor. That's how we bought it and it worked great.
I love your videos im 13 years old and i have always wanted to grow animals and hatch birds😀
You inspired me to have chickens. I have 13 now. I love them. They have such quirky cute personalities. Thank you
Thanks, that's awesome!
@@whitehouseonthehill you are welcome.
I hope you try the tiny chickens again. THEY are such characters! Goghillfarms had a couple at one time. their rooster was solid white. They have such big personalities!

I had an incubator like that round one you opened today. Keep a lot of attention on the thermometer & water. It should work.
Always so happy to see what you and the family are doing.
I was surprised how well the 50 year old incubator worked. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome!
Incredible old incubator, love to watch eggs hatching. Thanks,
Cool old incubator. Thanks for sharing I love watching the babies hatch. Your children are so cute. 🥰 ❤️💙
Wow! I had the exact same metal incubator back in the 70s, and hatched out so many duck eggs. I’m in my 70’s now and sure got a kick from seeing this. Keep up the good work!

yeah
Good afternoon my friend, it's afternoon my time in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Once again I'll say that I just love how you get all your children involved in helping on the farm. You guys are amazing parents 💝
Definitely worth keeping, if only to hatch out button quail xx
Omg im needing a incubator. Im wanting to hatch a bunch chicks (brahma breed). Watching all the way from Costa Rica 🇨🇷❤️
my favorite thing to do is watch your videos while being productive. I clean my horse riding boots, helmet and tack while watching as many videos as I can. It's always a good day when y'all post!
How cool on getting a real old incubator and it works! Bella is doing so good with the birds. 5 birds is better than none.
Correct!
That was pretty cool ... thanks for sharing
Your children are so darn cute! Beautiful family. Wow.
Serama eggs are the hardest eggs I've tried hatching! They are soooo temperamental. They hatch at 19 days usually. I set them a couple degrees less than full sized eggs and you have to keep the humidity pretty steady. I've had the nest luck with a broody hen
I think you got Ermine Americana eggs. They can hatch out white/white with black specks, and black!
I love you guys! Yes another video from my favorite channel on you tube. You guys always make me smile with gratitude. God bless you and your beautiful family. Your the best!
Thanks!
I bet you could get more humidity by taping up some of those holes on the top. It also might hold the temp better.
I thought it was pretty cool that you tested an incubator that was 40+ years old.
You are an inspiration 🫡
In splash breeding you get the possibility of hatching: blue, black, and splash! It looks like you got one black, two splash, and the others blue!
splash coupled with splash only produces splash.
This possibility of black, splash and blue being born only occurs when two blues are mated.
I know that. I was just talking in general. Typically breeders carry the variety or blue cock over bbs hens. Unless he knew 100% they were ONLY splash pen.
Judt woke up for the day she first video to pop up can't wait to watch, how exciting
Pretty cool old stuff 😊
An amazing experiment
Haha! Nice!
Hey man love your vids they inspired me to try chicks aswell I have 16 eggs in an incubator right now, on day 19 so very excited. Keep it up❤
Good luck! I hope they all hatch.
2 are chocolate, either mottled chocolate, ameraucana or solid chocolate coloring
I love this video so much and in fact, I’m hatching out a bunch of Bannies
Hi guys I hope you have a great time with each other sadly I lost my chicken just two days ago and I hope you always have brilliant projects ,good attention and Nobel minds continue your business I appreciate it . Thanks for your efforts

WOW ❤. I have this incubator, but I have never used one and couldn't figure out how it works. I am definitely saving this video to my favorites ❤.
I’m from Quincy, Illinois! I remember Brower manufacturering
Awesome!
God bless you and all your family members animals included
Love your videos

My mom and dad used to use the old one. We did turkeys and even tried an ostrich egg! (sorry did not hatch)

cool little history item from my home state, was a cool thing to see
I think you are doing an amazing job for making each of these videos . thanks for your efforts😊❤
Thank you!
So cute!!!
Really enjoyed your video. 😊
Glad you liked it!
Fun to dee you use the almost antique incubator. Lol

You make me feel Ancient, 50 years ago was 1974
Sorry
Oh my gosh I used this when I was a kid black in 1960😮❤

I hope the knowledge that a 13 yrs old is watching your vids makes u happy (love ur vids)❤
A very interesting video.
I have a 5 years old incubator working like the 5 years old one to set the temps.
I made a home made incubator in the later 80s from a styrofoam cooler and it worked great. A cut out some of the top and taped a thick weather plastic top and bottom of the top to see in. had a small lamp with a 25 watt bulb for heat cutting a place on the side of the cooler to fit it. on the bottom I put some rocks then a piece of hardware cloth over them so I could put water in. then some foil to adjust the temperature. put some wholes in it.

Love watching your videos & seeing your kids too ❤
My dad and I once built our own incubator with a styrofoam box and a fish tank heater.
Really enjoy your videos. Thank you
That was how they incubators in the good ole days,
My grandmother used to take and hatched Chicks next to the wood-burning stove with a hot water bottle and a towel in a box
You are doing a great job bro

Nice incubator
Try to cover the cracks with nail polish, I've tried many times and it works
Wow that’s awesome 💜✝️💜
YAY FINALLY SERAMA EGGS!!!!!!
Dont give the uncubator away old it gold
That was the kind of incubator we had when I was a kid
Your videos are very good. I cannot watch them if I have to listen to the music while someone is
talking.
Exactly the same we used around 40 years ago. Make me feel ancient :o)
Have you considered hatching Gold or Silver Campines? They're a rare breed and it would be great to see you raise some.
Do more aviary videos
We want the Avery video
Hey im from Quincy,IL!
Time to start line breeding your quail by color!!
You guys should hatch Ayam ketawas, also called laughing chickens when they crow they laugh.
My dad had an Incubator that looked something like your old Incubator, that was back in the 1940s and 1950s.....Thanks y'all = GOD BLESS
Old F-4 pilot Shoe🇺🇸
I have a 1968 Brower incu that was given to me. Brand new, never used. I hatched 21 of 30 Serama eggs I got from Hawaii (I'm in Louisiana) I rolled them 3 times a day until day 19, they lockdown until hatch2-3 days later. I still use it, works great.
You might laminate the old instructions.
I am hanging out to see the aveury in action
Woo boo my neck of the woods NEW ENGLAND 💜✝️💜
Probably better than a 50 y.o. egg in a new incubator.
True
I have this exact incubator
Nice!
You guys should try hatching some kikirikis!!
16:39 he was the trouble maker and he still got his butt beat 😂
