    Homemade incubator links, suggestions or ideas welcome!

    My husband and son are so excited to start on our first incubator but we have no idea where to start. We wouldn't be hatching more than 12 eggs at a time (maybe less) so we need something small and we'd like to keep it inexpensive. Any links, suggestions, ideas or pictures are welcome!

    buy or hatch?

    OK...I made up my mind. I will do both! I've been "chickening" for about 2 yrs now. My first experience was BAD...very very bad. My friend and I were so excited. We researched until our heads were full of chicken info. We found a breeder who had "quality, show winning, inspected and certified"...

    Hey! I have two ducks to give away if picked up locally or I might be willing to meet if someone has older chicks to trade. ' They are approx. 6 weeks. One is a Pekin, one is a Mallard. I think both are males, but this is my first duck experience and I could be wrong. I love the little buggers...

I also had another Buff laced pullet who acted just like a roo and had a very messy rooish crest...but...
