So how many hovabators are you up to now? Seems like it is at least 3, with the money you have spent on them, you could have already bought a sportsman!

Just imagine, your kids will be the only kids in the world that say "Aw, Mom!! Not quail AGAIN!'

Shelley-I'll have 2 Hovabator Genesis's (1 main bator w/ turner, & 1 hatcher) and then I'll use the Hovabator still air (that's currently my hatcher) as a back up (in case one dies mid hatch) or overflow. I'll have around 350$ into the Hovabators...so not quite as much as the sportsman....but it's close!

I just don't have room for one of those big puppys. Okay...that's not true....I could make room

But hubby's "generosity" is already being stretched a bit to far.

I don't think I could raise them up quick enough to have them sick of them. If all goes well, I'm planning on butchering every couple of months. Just pray I can get through the butchering! My hubby said he'd kill them, but I had to do the rest.

Jim- I saw that auction and started cracking up...I just had to show you! There's another auction from the same person for 200 that Redhen and I will probably go in on together. The birth of another hatchaholic...what a beautiful thing!


So back on topic....

Not one pip, squeek or anything...

Don't tell me that! I'm trying so hard to resist the pull of the Sportsman.....

Oh. and when I do get the A & M eggs....I'm going to put the hatcher right into the brooder. Then, it'sll just be opening the top and letting them pop out into the brooder. You'r sportsman can't do that!

Course it could if you built a brooder room like you did for your chicks...
