- Keep the heat among the chicks at about 90 deg. William K. David. Secrets of Wise Men, Chemists and Great Physicians.
- This incubator will hatch chicks, ducks, turkeys, or guineas, and we see no reason why it should not hatch the egg of the ostrich or anything else as well. William K. David. Secrets of Wise Men, Chemists and Great Physicians.
- Let the tank rest on inch boards with no opening under it, but in front; a fringe should hang in front for the chicks to run in and out under the tank. William K. David. Secrets of Wise Men, Chemists and Great Physicians.
- Chicks hatched by incubators, if rightly cared for, do better than with hens, and are stronger and more vigorous. William K. David. Secrets of Wise Men, Chemists and Great Physicians.
