    My husband installed a fan, temps are circulating and holding great, BUUUTTT....

    it vibrates the whole 'bator. I have a Hovabator 1602N and have done three successful hatches in it without a fan, but hatch rates were slightly under 50% (two shipped eggs, one local). I could tell that there were hot spots, though. So I got a little knee-jerk the other day and bid on some...

    WTB Blue-laced red wyandotte and Swedish flower hen hatching eggs

    Will ship or even willing to drive within a 1 hour (give or take) radius of Baltimore. Bonus is finding eggs from a flock of Swedish flower hens that includes birds with the brown/white/black coloration (like a Mille Fleur). The $1 is just for posting's sake...tell me your price, of course.

    I want some blue-laced red wyandotte hatching eggs

    but it seems that all I can find so far are hatchery eggs. I have to assume that there are a lot of sources out there that don't show up in my Google searches, though, and am wondering if any of you been-there-done-that chicken raisers have a favorite source? In an ideal world I'd put them...

    Hello from the Baltimore-DC corridor

    *Waving* Hello! I've been lurking FOREVER ;) but I'm finally jumping in. We've had "The Girls" for a year now...two Buff Orpingtons, one Partridge Plymouth Rock and one Silver-Laced Wyandotte. We're having so much fun with them, have really enjoyed watching their personalities develop and...
