    Well hatching has finished

    I have the very same incubator and I am also very happy with it, went into lock down with 36 and hatched 29. this was my first time ever incubating eggs, the only thing I'm going to change is cut some Rectangle holes on each side of the fan and hot glue some Plexiglas over them so i can see inside.

    Sounds like you live in a great place and that your neighbors are respectful of your flock. I feel your pain with the hatchery chicks, the cost of shipping is what kills me, i just don't want to deal with it anymore.

    Dark Cornish and White Rock cross. (meat project)

    I couldn't agree more although mine are not free range, to many predators around here for that. I want to have a self sustaining flock, call me crazy.
