Oh, dear, an incubator plugged into cigarette lighter?  There ought to be some sort of award for that!  That is hardcore.ep.gif

I've already bought a second incubator.  The first one had to go with me on vacation to Oregon plugged into the cigarette lighter outlet, because I'm participating in the Valentine's Day hatch.  I have so many eggs I want (and have ordered for various deliveries) that I've been juggling a calendar to make sure they don't overlap.  I wouldn't want to have to buy a third incubator already, would I?

I know, I am truly OCD.


Might as well cave and get a 3rd. . .  IMO. Hey, I'm not evil!  I'm just suggesting if there's a sale or something, you know, you might want to stock upbig_smile.png

 

No time for moderation.

 

I can quit hatching any time I want. . .  I do not have a problem. . .

I couldn't participate last year but followed along with great pleasure - swearing that this year I would be in!  Eggs already lining up...  jumpy.gif

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
              one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?

Who? Us? Hatch away, you'll be right! You can never have to many chickens! big_smile.png

I had permission for 6 - 8 layers no roos! Now I have... um... gosh... maybe 60 - 80 chickens and chicks and a 'bater full cooking, plus a boatload of broodies... hide.gif

12 Broodies and counting...

Hmm, I might have to start a couple early.  I just caught my buff brama gently nudging a golf ball in under her.... gig.gif

 

I told her she was a sweet girl, "now get back off the nest".

The difference between breakfast and chicks, is the temperature you use to "cook" the eggs!

 

What breeds do I have?  More than any sane person would own.
