Sometime last year we had a friend sell us an old incubator.
I wasn't too sure it could be fixed or even fixed up.
Thankfully Pat is good at restoring things.
We had to order a few replacement parts in order to have a working unit; thank goodness for the Internet.
On Saturday we noticed the eggs began hatching;
Which is good since every one of our chickens have been killed over the past few months.
Between the dogs, the coyotes and I think a bobcat, our poor hens didn't have a chance!
Thankfully we were able to buy some fertile eggs and can now begin replacing our flock.

I am sorry about the hens, but oh my word look at those babies!! How awsome!!
I'm jealous :)
That is too bad about your chickens. The babies are so cute. (But then they have to grow up. lol) Do you have a safe place for them, now?
It is great that you have a husband that can (and will) fix things.
Love that incubator! Sometimes I wish we kept our chickens, then other days, I'm glad we didn't. Mainly when it rained it was a hassle to collect eggs, but since it hasn't rained in months, we forget about that hassle! :)
