I'm glad! How many of each did you end up with?
5 of each. I rehomed the 5 roos plus one pullet to someone else with MFD and kept four pullets for myself.
Cool!

We got ours on Cragislist for $25. The compressor was shot, which was why it was so cheap, but you don't need the compressor to make an incubator! J pulled the compressor out of the bottom, added 2 outlets inside up top, added the thermo, drilled holes for ventilation, and reused the...

Really Muggs, it isn't that hard to build one, and just think of all the extra money you would have to buy eggs!
I was looking for Pepsi distributors in my area...I don't know how to go about getting a big ol' fridge like you have!

Muggs, you really need to build a bator like we have. I think you would have a much better hatch rate. We have about 85-95% hatch rate with ours.
Christine...post a pic of your incubator. It's worth drooling over. Craig will find this on his to-do list before long! (Ahem...once I...

I LOVE Polish! They are my favorites out of all of them. They are just too cute not to love.
I am excited for Nationals. Hopefully we will be showing next year, but this year we are only going as spectators. We sold some birds that we have to take out and bought a trio of Goldneck...

Hopefully we can start selling eggs in the spring. One of our Polish in the black/chocolate/khaki pen started laying yesterday!
None of the eggs that we got in NY hatched. We were pretty bummed. But, we have a gorgeous trio of Tolbunts that will be laying in the spring, so we will have...

Hopefully we can start selling eggs in...
