    G.Q.F. incubator question

    Nebraskan newcomers

    Long time lurker, I figured its time to sign up. My wife and I went from "let's get a couple hens" to "mentally insane" in one year. We have RIRs, BCMs, OE bantys, silky, showgirls, sultans, polish, 2 rouens ducks and 5 peas. Incubators going nonstop = chicks in the kitchen. If the weather...
