Since we started this new thread we have a great interest in getting started with these old Breeds that graced our poultry yards many years ago, however I am faced with a problem. The only way many of these hobbyists in poultry can get started with breeds such as Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island Reds is with hatching eggs. The problem is many of these beginners are graduating from getting a box of baby chicks in the mail to using an incubator. I have received messages from folks stating that they do not have an incubator or have the skills to use an incubator.
What kind advice would you tell these new people on getting a new incubator for a small home flock? Which model would you suggest for them? Remember, having eggs shipped to your home is a risky venture and normally the hatches are low even with the most skilled user or best incubator on the market. These eggs need to be in a unit that is almost fool proof and have a good thermostat.
Any suggestion for our friends who want to graduate from the baby chick box to hatching their own?
Thank you .Bob
