How many are still hatching chicks?

I'm not for now maybe start again in September.

We are hatching mainly for fall bird sells.

I am done hatching for awhile too.
Speaking of hatching, I recently aquired a Sportsman for a very good price. It is an older one with plywood cabinet, not the press board. It is auto turn with three trays and a hatching tray. Humidifier kit. It has been lighty used and is in perfect condition and working order. I am going to upgrade it to the electronic themostat soon.
I am now looking for a hatcher if anyone has one.

I may try to build a hatcher.
Do y'all think the guts from a GQF 1588 can supply enough heat for a cabinet style hatcher?

X2. No matter how much money you have if it don't rain you don't find hay. And since my Dad added 2 Belgums with mule colts and a Pucharon to our heard in January????? Come on rain!!!

O.O You have your hands full! I just have an Arabian/Pony mix, a mini, and add ******** Medicine Hat paint.

Nope. You need something bigger. Have you considered an Incukit? http://incubatorwarehouse.com/225-watt-cabinet-incukit.html It would handle that size incubator/hatcher.

Most of my hatching is already done, except for a few silkie eggs. I will turn to quail for a few months unless i come across some SQ chicken eggs i must have.

I knew that was gonna be the answer but had to ask any way.

Like to buy a hatcher ready to go. I don't think I want to incubate and hatch in the same cabinet.
