Hatchalong Starts Tomorrow May 1st............anyone else?

I was given the idea a couple of weeks ago by a member about starting some kind of Fridebator's Hatchalong where everyone with a homemade fridge/freezer bator were welcomed to join this ride......oh well .....why not?.....I'm setting more eggs on the 1st, I'll be starting with 60 eggs, and keep on adding another 60 eggs every 7 days until i fill up the fridgebator.....everybody is welcomed to join.....so clean that dusty fridge you got in the garage........or head up to the dumpster.....or clean up that old fridge you have in the backyard.....join the fun!!!!...............No Fridgebator............No Problem.........Everybody Is Welcomed?

hi.....last hatch when i had my fridgebator standing (i have it right now laying on its back) i had my heat source (2 100w bulbs) right at the bottom along with a fan......i also had another fan on top this way the airflow would constantly be revolving inside the bator and the temps would be constant 99-101  at the same time from top to bottom.....hope this would help you..............oh i forgot, i also have a waffer thermostat i bought on ebay...........i had totally forgot.

ok....so after doing a head count of chicks i have i decided to only add 60 eggs for the fridgebator hatchalong starting May 1st instead of adding another 60 each week until filling the fridgebator.......reason is that i have 230 chicks alltogether and still have another 110 eggs that will hatch on the 30th, 2nd, and 6th.....if i have a good hatch with them eggs, ill be hitting over 300 chicks......i think i need to start selling some at the fleamarket if i want to keep on hatching more eggs....lol.....

my silver phoenix hen has started laying eggs...........more phoenix babies will be on their way.....lol......anyone else ready to join on may 1st?

ok.....i'll be setting my eggs tomorrow at noon...........i have 14 old english bantams......6 silver phoenix.......7 hennies.....and 60 barnyard mix...........Good Luck Everyone!!!!

that's why one should not count their eggs till you have them in your hands.......lol......i ended up with only 58 eggs to set instead of my previous post.............here is the count:

i set 58 eggs......12 old english bantam.....4 hennie's.....9 personal barnyard mix....9 silver phoenix.....and 24 barnyard mix of my neighbor's farm.......will be adding another 150 eggs this friday from my neighbor's farm, well i think there's gonna be 150 eggs more to add ,..,...lets wait and see.
