maternal incubation?

Does anyone do this and if so, how does it work out for you? How is it compared to artificial incubation. Just curious...

There are several members doing it, with good results

I did maternal incubation for my eggs and I cut them yesterday before they pipped.All looks pretty good.

The big difference is whether you want to be in control or you want to just help.

If you want to control the entire process, you use an incubator.
If you're okay with being a side-kick, you can go with maternal incubation.

Yep ;) What she said :gj:

There are pros, cons and risks that go along with either method, but it's entirely up to you which route to choose. Just make sure you do your research beforehand.
