So true! He needs to get creative! That could be his next project!! And while he's building one, better make an extra, just in case!He could build his own or buy a used cabnet bator! Three turning trays and a hatching tray! He would have chicks coming out of his ears! lol

Brinsea Octagon 20. Awesome little incubator
I work long hours, and I need something that is essentially set and forget. The Brinsea really is. I have really high hatch rates, and all I do is add water every 3 or 4 days. The 20 is kind of small, but 20-24 chicks is a good number for me to work with. I have the brooders and juvenile pens to handle that many, but 3 weeks between sets is just too long. Another Octagon 20 would be ideal, especially heading into the spring when demand is so high. Chicks sell really strong from March-May, and I can sell pullets year roundHe could build his own or buy a used cabnet bator! Three turning trays and a hatching tray!

He already has chicks coming out his ears - have you seen his Silkie pens??
Brinsea Octagon 20. Awesome little incubator
From 8 hens I'm averaging 5 eggs/day right now. Some days I get 4, but usually 5. I think all are laying now. The size is starting to pick up a little, so if this batch doesn't go well, I have high hopes for the next one
She knows it's an investment. She thought it was crazy to spend $360 on an incubator last year, but I paid myself back with the first 2 hatches. I tried Styrofoam first, and that looked like a horrible science experiment, so she understands the value of the Brinsea

Little hootchies just love to hatch eggs. This picture was taken in August. I had 6 hens in May, and had already sold 20 chicks by the time this was taken. One of those dumb birds walked out with 2 more chicks the week before Christmas
You can see from the pictures that the AMs are much better quality than the Silkies
Every year I say no more. Every single year. I just finished 2 juvenile pens this weekend. I'm up to 7 full pens, 2 juvie pens, and 3 broodersThey are so cute! Love them! I don't have enough pens though! I need more pens!!!!! My hubby doesn't think so though! I know that look you got when you said you need another incubator! My hubby looks at me the same when I say I need one more pen! Just one more and I promise that will be enough! LOL
