Anyone else think they might have a problem?

Currently:

- I'm gathering parts to build a large DIY incubator for outside.

- I'm selling 12 chickens today to get numbers down enough to fit the two coops and two brooders.

- I'm excitedly looking forward to expensive eggs in a couple months but wondering how I will schedule my home hatches around them.

... just look how expensive it is to have hobbies like cars, boats, traveling, scuba diving, advanced children's athletics, etc. Really, we're saving money over those hobbies, and we can help provide sustenance in the process...

And now I'm looking forward to seeing this project. Always wanted to build a walk in incubator myself.
When you get underway start a thread and tag me please. I'd love to follow it.

Thank you!
A walk-in sounds amazing!
Mine will be smaller than that, but it will be different than most. I started a thread just now focused on the turning, if you care to weigh in? DIY Egg Turner

Lost count of my incubators long ago. Even now I have two incubators despite having no chickens and living in a city.

If you make it stateside, we will fix that no chicken issue

Keep telling yourself that....

I'm probably saving money on therapy bills, but definitely not profiting at all . . . unless you count all the deserts I make at home since I need something to do with all the eggs

Ok I just bought my THIRD incubator. I was all excited when it arrived but it’s literally the exact same incubator I already have two of. I cleaned out our shed and am turning it into a coop for serama chickens. I check Craigslist every weekend to see if there are any cool birds up for sale. Anyone else feel like they might have a problem?

Yes. I've ended up with piles of computers.

I use to have that problem but I've switched hobbies many times since then, lol.

ETA: When they started putting water coolers in PC towers my brain couldn't comprehend the concept.

Water cooling looks like a lot of money and time to me.

It was asking if I had a problem.
