Good to know about the incuview! Never too much. Do folks have brands/types of hygrometers and thermometers they like?

Ya, I've got an incuview coming next week... and it'll be half full out of the box! After testing that is, but it better work right out of the box! Lol! And if my geese and/or ducks start laying I'm in big trouble!

Ugh, I need an egg intervention already. Had kept myself to 2 Minis to help contain my obsession...

Hmm, I haven't mastered quoting yet apparently....

What are you going to do with all those quail?

It's Minnesota. MN is the top turkey producing state in the country. Iowa is the top egg producing state (who knew?). Mn getting hit hard, some cases in NW Iowa now, one turkey place, one egg place. WI has a few cases, one a back yard flock. Nothing here in SE Iowa but I've stopped running...

I look forward to YOUR turkey egg auctions next year!!

Then I'm really glad I sat out and you got them. Having all Roos trumps me just being greedy! Hope you get some little hens! I'm as stuck on Hedemoras as a person can be without having a single one hatch successfully yet. (Sigh) Holding out hope for the 3 still trying in Mini2. Waited till...

For more incubator space, I have to admit it took me about an hour to combine a $15 cooler with a $50 Incukit (okay, and a $2.50 piece of plexi) into a pretty decent incubator. I've got 2 dozen Norwegian Jaerhons in there now, and I think I can put in a second shelf for another 2 doz. Even put...

I KNOW! I've been firm on my sticking to IA Blues and then Scandinavian breeds, just to try and stay in control... Then there are the Isabel Orpingtons, and the Sebrights, and then all the colored egg layers that make my crew seem a little boring, and now I just looked at the Serama...

I thought hard about it! Lucky for her I got the turkey eggs. Trying not to be greedy. While arranging yet another cooler bator project!!! :)

Purpletie3 I so want to razz you for going after the SV - again! But I can't since I played the sympathy card to get the turkey eggs earlier. And I have a few Hedemora eggs hanging in there in the Mini. Geez the PO has been tough on my Hedemora eggs this spring!!! Keeping fingers...

Actually he asks about her all the time, she really was a character! I don't have the heart to tell him she's gone so just say that she's still depressed but I'm working on it. Hoping for at least a hen and a tom to take a picture of so I can tell him she's finally moved on!!!!

Why I need chickadoodles turkey eggs. Last summer my last Bourbon Red hen, "Harriet", fell in love with my uncle from Idaho. He had came to help put a new roof on my pole barn. She would come running when he got there in the morning, spend the day trying to look casual as she stalked him...

What size box do you use? I'm running into space issues trying to use priority large boxes, with medium inside. If I go with a bigger box, shipping goes up $10! Was $28.95 I think on the last batch, which was actually a couple less eggs than the first batch I crammed into a medium-in-large...

I've read that thread too, relying on it! I didn't use that much bubblewrap, wouldn't completely encasing them keep them from getting enough O2? Like being put in plastic bags which I've read is a no-no? All my straw is currently soaking wet being turned in a straw bale garden.... might need...

I was thinking of trying to make a grid of foam board in the inner box, to give each egg it's own space. If I can fit it all in! I know the first box had a broken egg, the box had taken a hard hit. Waiting to hear on the second box's lost egg. Trying to find and walk that line between too...

Question for people who ship big eggs like goose eggs. I've shipped goose eggs twice now, and each package has lost one egg. I'm wrapping eggs in bubble wrap, putting paper and/or styro peanuts or more bubble wrap between them, then double wrapping and using bubble wrap and/or scrunched paper...

Yep, me too. :(
