Oh lord is this what i have to look forward too??? LOL Well i bought the hygrometer/thermometers the cheap one and the digital one so i will compare them to see if they match and go from there. I am receiving my delivery of chicks that i ordered tomorrow or Saturday so excited to receive them from e-fowl. SO as it sits now i will have the following as far as my flock.

 

5 RIR pullets chicks

5 Blk Jersey Giant pullets chicks

5 Assorted heavy breed chicks ( For Eating)

6 blk copper maran eggs to hatch

6 Amerucana eggs to hatch  

5 Cornish X meaties (For eating)

4 Chinese white geese 2 adults mated pair and 2 babies

2 peking ducks chicks

 

So i am going to be a busy girl with these babies so have i lost my marble chicken wise or what??? See what i mean i have gone crazy idunno.gif

I can't even imagine how many years of begging and whineing I would have to do to get my husband to make a pond haha.  It's so many I haven't bothered with ducks, I don't want them unless I can give them a pond.

And I thought I had alot of chickens!! 3 RIR, 3 barred rocks, 2 white ones, 2 little ones ( that never leave the coop) and a rooster...oh yeah, a bronze gobbler who is calling up all the wild hens..idunno.gif

Now in the incubator, i have 3 dozen french black marans and 14 red shoulder yokohamas... but i can't really count them, they haven't hatched yet... we all know the saying...don't count your chickens...

Someone on craigslist has 8 more laying hens... should I?? How many can fit in a coop? Its 4' X 8', they free range all day, its mainly for sleeping and egg laying... I think I am wanting someone to say- sure, go for it... whats that about chicken math?? yippiechickie.gif

I have the Little Giant styro incubator with egg turner also.  Its works great.  I have 15 Black Copper Maran eggs in mine now.  Just make sure you get the temp stable.  I have mine in my bedroom closet floor also.  Look at the link I posted below.  Its great and i'm using it now.  Good luck with your hatching!

Yep, the incubators are still there, they didn't get up and leave during the night, no one stole them...
