Incubator! Or a bunch of hardware cloth.

I do like hardware cloth..

Girls and hardware cloth!

Y'all are too cute.

Next Valentine's Day, I'm gonna try that. "Crazy Lady, I got you a 10' roll of 1/2" hardware cloth."
"What!?! I'm not good enough for the 100' roll?!!!"
and then the fight begins.

I'd be thrilled if someone gifted me hardware cloth. Unfortunately, nobody ever thinks of that.

Now when you were hatching the Blues you did mention how you "hated that incubator". Either getting help to go towards an upgrade or a new one wouldn't necessarily be a bad option.

About time to start breeding and bringing the brooding hens out of vacation. This year it'll be
Kelso
Lacy roundhead
Miner blue.
I'll be getting some broodfowl to breed for a few people
And prolly gonna hatch some out for a friend with their incubator cause I sold all mine a couple years ago and use only hens now View attachment 1679867

Anybody planning on doing some breeding this year?

Buckeyes & chanteclers.
Going to also offer hatching and brooding services.

When buying a first incubator always buy the best one you can afford. Hatching becomes an addiction. I bought a cabinet incubator for my first incubator and have never regretted it. Many people start out with the cheapest and smallest incubator they can find. They are constantly frustrated and keep throwing more money away as they toss the cheap junk incubators and slowly buy slightly better ones.

I just bought a 176 egg incubator/ hatcher combo cabinet yesterday. Can't wait to start! Just have to wait for girls to start laying & eggs to stop freezing.

I hated it until it hatched 100% it also keeps my numbers down, I can only fit 9 in there LOL. I don’t need anymore chickens.

Hardware cloth is a great idea! That stuff is so expensive and you always need it. Excellent suggestion, @BantyChooks

Nice!
Think about all of the fluffies you can do!

My mom is trying to tell me to watch Games of Throne.
I started the very first one and got sidetracked doing laundry so I only saw the first ten minutes.
I'm going to try to start it from the beginning again now.

She swears it's good.
Anyone here watch it?

I found it dry... fell asleep often while watching it, but it is good.

The books are fantastic.

I've had the same problem with the Outlander series.
