[okiegirl]

I posted a question about reintroduction to the flock. Will ya'll look and let me know what you think.
I know hatching in November isn't ideal, but she wanted babies so bad, so I let her sit them.

That is a nice one!
Are you sure he's not picking himself out a new toy?

(just kidding ;-) )
I think the section in the middle would drive me nuts though , blocking the view to watch. lol! The rest has a good view.! Only holds 24 chicken... is that going to be big enough?

I've noticed the stinkers seem to pip on top. I like the havo genisis 1588 that we are currently using. At lock down, I positioned the eggs to the outer edges and we can see them all hatch.

Were looking into a second bator too.
I found a small neat one that can be used for cool storage, or a bator, or reptiles. I have a pair of geckos. Hoping to hatch some of their eggs come spring.
Yes,!!! It's really addicting when you start hatching lizards too! :lol

Here's the one were looking at..

Wish I had the answer for ya but I don't have any brooder hens yet, so I have to keep mine seperate until they are big enough to introduce to the flock and take care of themselves, which does suck, I hope to have a broody hen by next spring!

Ya... If I remember it's about $200. But I've seen it on ebay and amazon for $99

The only thing that concerns me is we'd need to come up with a way babies don't fall out when we open it!

Oh my goodness! It sounds like you had a long night last night Silkiemom!

that your incubator let's you get some sleep tonight. Maybe this Christmas "Santa" will bring you a new Brinsea or Hova.

The Critter place, I know how you feel! It's so hard to wait once they pip! I had my face smashed up against the incubator window like a kid looking into a toy store all day yesterday!

Hopefully both of you get cute little peeps hatching soon!

Yes it was, but hopefully it will be worth it in the end,

I don't know if I can wait on Santa for a new incubator, lol. My husband wants me to get the R Com Suro 20, here's a link to it, what do yall think?

I really want a brinsea, but this one looks pretty good to?!!?!

I've read good things about the r-com incubators! I have heard that that model is similar Brinsea's octagon 20 advance. So I don't think you could go wrong with an r-com or a brinsea, both companies put out a great product.

What does that one cost? Doen'y show price and I didn't feel like registering.

I have two of these and they are awesome

It is a little bit of effort to get the humidity right for chickens though

I cut a plastic shelf to fit out of a plastic "shoebox" lid and when it's time for lockdown I slide it on top of the real shelf and set the eggs on it. So far no problems
