Trying to catch up...had a few thoughts...
one of Barred Wyandotte, one of Buff Columbian Wyandotte, one pen of BBS Cochin, one of Delaware Bantam,
and in the ducks, one pen of Pekin, one of Saxony.
I use my four stryafoam incubators at the beginning and ending of my hatching season and for test hatches. I like to hatch and brood in them as well. But my work horse incubator is a huge cabinet.
When something goes wrong with a styrafoam, if it is not a quick fix then a less costly loss of 40 eggs. If my cabinet is full and something goes wrong, I stand to lose big....each tray holds 108 eggs and there are six trays.
Broody hens don't break easy.
Yes!!! I will have four pens of Columbian Wyandotte,

When we went to pick up my car from the shop, one of the mechanics said last summer he and a friend raised and then processed 5000 Coturnix quail in one weekend. They packaged them for the freezer and filled pre-orders.

That is how I started over 20 years ago. While I've expanded, I still like the convenience of a small incubator once in a while.
