I am going this weekend to check it out. I need to get this incubator thing down so i am not going to get babies that i REALLY want until i can improve my incubating skills.

:fl  for improving my skills without a broody at the moment

That is EXACTLY what I'm doing too. No way am I paying top dollar for the eggs on really want when my incubators are still glitching out on me when the weather fluctuates at all. 40% hatch rate isn't good so I'm going to keep practicing till I know I've got it down before I get the $40 a dozen eggs!

Nothing wrong with cheaper eggs to learn with. The pulleys sell just fine and the roos well people say they taste great. I can't bring myself to do it myself.so I sell them. Lol:p

You should be able to get some cheap eggs for sure. I bought mine on craigslist since it is an "experiment" and my first time with broody hens. I hope your incubator works for you!

I full heartly agree with that. i got some special eggs that my hubby likes and they did not work lol. so i did go yesterday ooooooo lordy my son and i had fun. I definetly want to go back but right now i am experimenting with some mystery duck eggs. they take longer and my 3 yr REALLY wanted them so i said what the heck.

I came out with :

8 button quail (down to 5,because David wanted to see his babies and flung the box lid open when we got home)
2 Banty's 1 frizzle and 1 cochin ( i think the frizzle is a cockrel)
7 silkies (straight run i believe)( 2 black,1 odd ball, 2 partridge, 1 white partridge, and 1 nn partridge)
and
2 dozen mystery duck eggs (23 made it to the bator this morning. 1 was cracked- but fertile) (i also have one with the air sac on the side

)

My husband thinks we will have to rehome some though. He know i am looking for a variety of egg color and all i got is white egg layers.
