Debating whether or not I should give incubation a try. Does anyone have a used incubator for sale thats pretty much "Foolproof" for a rank beginner Oh, I am in Albuquerque

I am debating whether or not to try incubation my eggs (I am getting about 10 eggs a day). Does anyone have a used incubator for sale that would work for someone who never hatched eggs before? I am in Albuquerque.

Hi Fridayyet, I am in ABQ :)

This is sort of tricky to figure. If you are only doing 5 chicks under the heatlamp for 6 -7 weeks your cost per chick will be high. If you are doing say 20 chicks under the heatlamp you cost per chick would be lower. Once you know the cost per chick under heat you can then figure out if its...

I will be in my"off" year this coming year. When I am ready for more Hens I will have to carefully figure out the cost of running heatlamps versus buying feathered out youngsters. This spring my electric bill went through the roof, I had 2 heatlamps going for 5 weeks, be forwarned

you are lucky, I can not get mine to sit on my lap

Thanks Naser

We have 3 barn cats

The best way is to manage your flock and your dog. My Chickens, Turkeys, Sheep and Goats are in my fenced off "Back 40". My dogs run in my side yard. They will not have to opportunity to chase and/or kill anything. shock collars create more problems then they solve unless your timing is...

Wow, jusr wow, thanks for all the super advice. Is there a tread on incubators? And how about buying a used one? is thread on building one?

maybe 20 chicken eggs a yesr and maybe 10 turkey eggs a year

Looking on e-bay - very confusing, so what is the best incubator to get looking at a budget of give or take 150 Dollars?
