My breeding project is underway!
I have made adjustments, so here's what it looks like for now:

I'm setting a dozen eggs in a small incubator, that a friend gave me, every first of the month. I started it up yesterday and I've got it up to temp, but it's taking a little doing to keep it very consistent; thankfully, the top is clear, so I can monitor the temp much better and the light is on a dimmer (brilliant lady, this friend of mine), so I can control the temp better too. =D She's amazing!!!

That's the plan; here's what I have going on currently:
I have 14 gold Comet x GLW/white Leghorn eggs in my large incubator (it uses my heat lamp, which I'll be using for the chicks when they hatch, so no more incubating in there). All of those birds will be used for meat (b/c I don't like the temperament of my Comets, they killed my new SLW rooster, so they're all going away).
I also have 4 white Leghorn x GLW/white Leghorn eggs set with them. Those will go into my laying flock or my bachelor pen (bachelor pen will be meat birds).
