Bator just arrived!! Should I fire it up???

[chantecler]

HI Guys

Just received my hovabator 1588 with turner. Should I try it out?
It's freeking cold here and have no idea what I would do with the chicks until the spring??? I guess I could keep them inside until they are old enough to move the brooder out in the coop. Probably 8 weeks?

My DH would be thrilled to have a handfull of peeps in the house for two months!!!

Should I????

I know, I know

I just wanted to be enabled!!

But I am concerned about the cold and when I'll be able to put them in the coop. I'm sure I'll figure something out....

I want babies now!!!!

I'd wait, there is nothing like stinky dusty chickens in the house for months!!! You can wait a month can't you ?

Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it
Then look crazy when hubby asks about it what eggs in the bator hunny? I don't know what you mean! Lol

AND - its so neat to be able to put the little ones out during the day and watch them trying to act BIG and taking dust baths etc...


(I made a little tractor to do just that with my babies!)

not fair, I'll post a picture of stinky poop!

Go for it! I loaded mine last Thursday night and am anxiously waiting for the arrival of my little fuzz butts. I've been a little unsure about the brooding thing, but hey! We'll just go with the flow and do what's necessary.

Fire that thing up and hatch away!

If you can put up with the stink..

I would not do it, myself..

all the rest of you people are no help at all.. I hope none of you are on AA's support call list..
