Anyone else had this thought?

Well, I mean, I figured as much... but I mean for more on a home scale... Like, taking a useless closet and transforming it into a incubating sauna... that sort of thing.

Useless closet, that was funny.............................how many of us have those

I saw a sauna on sale in Canadian Tire catalog and immediately thought about how many eggs I could fit in there!! Heck it was cheaper than a brand new Sportsman!

Hmmm, makes me wonder exactly what incubator the OP is using. Styrofoam?

Great Idea!! You could see the countyside and do a great service to small farms!

Fresh baby chicks!!

Any chicks that we do not want on our farm for egg production or pest control, will be sold through the local Blue Seal. People in our neck of the woods go absolutely crazy over cheap chicks(even mixed breeds)! Our chicks, with the exception of setting our BLRW pair in a room together for specifically pure breds, will be mixes betweeen our BLRW roo and any of our hens(1-BG, 2-BAs, 1-BLRW, 4-EEs, 2-SLWs, & 2-GLWs). We already have a few orders($1.50-2.00/chick) ready and waiting for the little darlings to hatch out.

To the person wondering what we have for an incubator: yes, it is the still air-LG-9200 styrofoam incubator... and it works GREAT!

Personally, not sure why so many on this forum are against the LGs....

It currently contains: 36 eggs(3 pure bred BLRWs, 9 BLRW/EE x's 12 EE /? x's[either BG or BLRW], and the rest are BLRW/ SLWs, GLWs, BAs, & BGs) + 1 Weather Channel personal weather station!

I completely agree with you about the LG. Once I had mine figured out with how it responds in certain rooms in my home, it has been wonderful! Especially if I use the "dry hatching" method of incubation. If I had more avenues to even GIVE chicks away where I live, I would be incubating more often!

I haven't tried the dry hatching method before... will have to experiment with the next clutch(due to go in on one of the F.A.'s suggested setting dates: Feb. 11, 12, or 20-22) Going to aim for the 12th though.

Big incubators like that would be hard to keep molds an other nastys out... I have been trying to get my hands on an old reefer trailer though.
