Hey Man! Mine is Feb 26th!

If anyone has a Hova Bator Incubator please contact me. It would be a plus if it came with an egg turner and air circulator. Message me if you have one. Thanks everyone!

How long after the chicken lays the egg will it remain fertile? And what must I do to keep them fertile?

I am home from summer and do not have any income since I work a volunteer job. Cash is running low and I want to be entrepreneurial and do something with my 2 acre backyard. Whether it be growing something / selling it or building something / selling it, I want to be productive with my time and...

What town in Connecticut are you all from? Avon here.

I feel there will be 2 results stemming from cage bans: 1) Chickens will live a more natural and healthy lifestyle. 2) It will open up room for other businesses to enter into the market because the huge suppliers will not keep up at the same pace. What do you people feel will happen? If it...

I am looking to keep up with all the latest news within the egg industry and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. For instance, I would like to know what is going on to prevent battery cages for chickens. That is just one topic I would like to keep up on. If anyone has a...

I would love to start up a business with male chicks (which would normally be discarded/killed at hatcheries) and rescue them. After watching so many hatcheries kill the males chicks the same day they are born, I want to do something with them. Any suggestions?

I have actually thought about ideas like that. I thought about incubating my own chickens but getting fertile chicken eggs is so dam expensive it ruins profits. I need to be able to get fertile eggs from my own set of chickens. It would be cheaper. I also thought about buying 1 day olds from...

I love whatever brings in some sort of cash flow. I am an entrepreneur by nature. I love the idea of creating a product / service and making money from it. I know everyone does like that too but my drive is unlike most people's. My interests are: Sports Agriculture Investments Almost...

Currently, I am a junior at the University of Connecticut. I really want to start up a business of my own while I am still in college. I have tried many things so far but nothing seems to fully work. Does anyone have any ideas? The sky is the limit. I am not really looking for the simple stuff...

I know the sportsman holds 270 chicken eggs but what is the next biggest incubator out there? I am looking for bigger incubators than that but not as big as the commercial grade where they hold like 5,000 eggs at once.

Do you think if I opened a hatchery with organic chicks, people would be interested? I would not vaccinate. Just let nature take its course. Or bad idea?

I noticed that Murray McMurray Hatchery is always limited with their selection of chicks. With that said, I feel that there is room for other hatcheries to enter into the mix. I have strongly considered this but definitely have a lot of planning ahead of me. What is everyone's thoughts? Is...

Oo ok good to know. Thanks! I did not realize there was a hatcher on the bottom. But what if I try to hatch all 3 trays at the same time? There is no way there is enough room in the hatching tray for all of them.

Quote: So the hatcher is just a flat surface right? I am kind of confused why people use hatchers rather than leaving them in the incubator.

Ok here is a hypothetical scenario: I have 10 female white-leghorns and 1 male leghorn to make the eggs fertile. I have an incubator which holds 270 eggs. I want to save up enough eggs to fill the whole incubator. 1) How long do fertile eggs last for after they are laid? 2) What do I store...

Holy cow! That is way longer than I thought. Very good to know!

I am looking for some good business books (recent) about raising chickens for their eggs. Anyone know of any?
