    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...

    Re: maternal incubation?

    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

    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.
