    I tried a friend's Brinsea incubator last spring and fell in love. It's awesome. Not getting one this year because I wanted to try some new breeds. I bought 75 chicks total from 2 different hatcheries. No self restraint! Brinsea will have to wait til next year.

    During the warm months I keep my mealworms in the garage. I had a couple of chipmunks eating all my pupae until I realized what was happening. My totes now all have screened lids on them.
