Yay! I'm setting that one!

Might as well try a few and see how it goes. You can always decide not to hatch those in the future.

My favorite breed of chicken.

I've got 2 right now, both red. Anne and Diana. They are the prettiest, most calm little girls. I knew right away I wanted to add more to my flock, and I was so thrilled to find these locally and avoid having to have eggs shipped.

I'm hoping to use broodies in the future. I have 5 Buff Orpingtons and 5 cochin bantams, so we'll see.

Same. I want to let my cochins, d'Uccles, and Orpingtons do the work for me in the future.

Welcome to the 'not for breakfast' club, lol. You'll never see a chicken egg the same way again, lol

Haha right?

All my chicks will be barnyard mixes since the two males are (were, I culled 1, long story) barnyard mixes. My current eggs are from: Pot a black Barnyard Mix, Buffy a Buff Orpington and a few RIRs that I just traded for some Black Jersey Giants. Most of the eggs are from the RIRs since I had 5 of them.

Ok, finding room for all incubators. I must be seriously crazy

Yeah that's a lot of incubators to find space for at one time!

Ok, this one is out: https://a.co/d/h9VAoM0, it only gives temp in C with no way to change it. I'm not trying to convert temps when chicks lives are literally in my hands.

Second one down, https://a.co/d/2MpWL0j . . .the egg tuner doesn't seem to work.

Edit: Figured it out. There was a 'missing' cord taped to the bottom of the incubator.

Notes to self, don't buy either of these.
