    I use a needle to make the holes and only make the biggest hole maybe 1/4th of an inch and the other a bit smaller. Put your needle (or whatever) in the largest hole and stir it around to break up the yolk, then blow it out from the smaller hole. Stirring the yolk up makes it much, much easier.

    Since I have limited space (coopwise) for chickens it doesn't seem cost effective to buy a bator to hatch more chicks than I have room.

    I'd sure be in the market late this year or early, early next year for a couple olive egg laying hens (or pullets) and a roo. Does anyone know a good source for such?
