And she passed away today. She went very fast, and we couldn't get to the emergency avian vet in time. She's been laying eggs on and off for a year, and two of them hatched, so we have 2 beautiful babies(well, they're 4 months old now, not really babies any more), but she has been laying more eggs and ignoring them, dropping on the floor, etc. The babies were playing soccer with one of them. So she laid one yesterday. I can't really afford an incubator, but would like to try to hatch it. Is this possible? I am keeping it very warm.

I'm so sorry that happened :(

I know some people make home made incubators, you may have to turn the eggs several times a day until it reaches a certain age. I bet there is a web site somewhere with a good one.

I'm so sorry it happened!! :( Fly free

There is people who makes their own incubators and the egg(s) hatched, so you can look around on websites. Good luck

I'm sorry for your loss. You can make an incubator but also have to have the time to nurture the little one. Look around the 'net! I wish you luck.
