Welcome to the Zoo! 2 Morgans, 2 Minis, 1 Standard Poodle, 3 cats, 3 pet birds and the chickens.

Dorkings and bantam Cochins mostly, with a few others here and there.

And of course, my wonderful Hubby, who puts up with me and keeps me in check when I start to get crazy.

I'll wait for the others, then. Would they be here in a day or two, do you think? Need to make sure the incubator is empty for some eggs being shipped July 9. Or maybe I just need to buy another incubator

I'd bet you would have them either Sat or Monday.

ok here's what you do... start shopping the BIG incubators. cite reasons like, more reliable, better hatch rates, etc... but then comment (out loud to yourself) just HOW many eggs you could incubate then. but on the flip side, the smaller ones are more energy efficient and take up less room. and if one broke you'd have a spare to use 'just in case'. and they are a lot less expensive too...

Good idea! I really love our Hovabator 1602N and turner. My youngest's preschool hatched 100% with it and our eggs last month!

Trick is finding it to be used by Monday or Tuesday..........

I got my eggs from Coldupnorth yesterday! Thank you! If it's OK, I will ship the rest on Saturday so they're not sitting at the PO for an extra day.
