Brower Humidaire M-100 - I got it Pictures!!!

Do you have a place to put 400 chicks? See, that's where I'd get myself in trouble....our basement can only hold so many brooders!

Well, dd has it all planned out. We have a local small animal auction place that you can sell them and get a pretty penny for them. They have sales on the 3rd Sunday of every month. Her plan is to set the eggs so they hatch 2-3 days before the sale. then she only has to keep them for a short time...

Rubbermaid long skinny tall containers work WONDERS!!! I will try to get pics of that too when I put pics of the incubator. We also use the big cattle water tank for keeping the little ones in. It has nice high sides and we put a tarp over the top to keep them warmer and a heatlamp. It works pretty good!

Oh, and I absolutely LOVE Major hatching!! You are lucky you have that name! You need to get some 'farm' signs, Major hatchery!

Wow. I am totally jealous. Or should I say, "MAJOR-ly Jealous?"

Your fantastically good deal combines my two favorite loves-antiques and egg hatching!

Can't wait to see a picture.

that is what I thought too Patchesnposies. I love antiques and I have thoughts of grandeur of converting the spare basement catch all room to a brooder room. DH does not know this plan yet....BWAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA! He does not know the monster he has just enabled!

I just mentioned to my hubby today that some day I'd like a bird room....he asked what for and I said "Oh, ya know, the buttons...incubators etc." I didn't want to scare him and call it a brooding room!

I really can't wait to see your bator Jenny, it sounds so nice!

I don't think I can wait till Feb....I think this weekend is clean the spare junk room out weekend!
