If I had ANY room in my incubator I'd be after those. Seriously, two incubators and they are packed full. So full in fact if my ayam cemanis keep laying I'm not going to have room for the eggs

I love my seramas!!! I finally hatched 2 frizzled seramas and am dying for some silkie seramas lol. I have 2 full incubators and 9 broody hens sitting on ameraucana and orpington eggs lol.

I'm desperate for more incubator space. I think I'm about to start putting chicken eggs under broody turkeys.

Bet you could fit lots of eggs under a turkey lol. I've hatched call ducks under chickens so why not

Be patient, I'll be sending you eggs hopefully by next month. 

I'll have to check fertility and all that good stuff after they start laying.

I'm being patient but it's killing me LOL. I'm so excited for them. The little frizzled that I hatched from you is booted too

Lucky you! I haven't even gotten a booted frizzle yet, I don't think I have. Now I'll have to go look at my frizzle chicks.

For more incubator space, I have to admit it took me about an hour to combine a $15 cooler with a $50 Incukit (okay, and a $2.50 piece of plexi) into a pretty decent incubator. I've got 2 dozen Norwegian Jaerhons in there now, and I think I can put in a second shelf for another 2 doz. Even put in an LED light I pulled from an old aquarium hood. Thinking about doing it again! Or going BIGGER! (geez, somebody slap me)

Here is the one my DH did it will hold 7 dozen eggs. It's a 64qt. ice chest with a digital temp. controller off of amazon for 15.00 and two light bulbs and a computer fan. Under 50.00

I have a cooler bator too that I made last year. I get great hatches from it. I just need to make a turner and another shelf for it. I used a Coleman cooler, hot water heater thermostat, 2 25 watt light bulbs wired to the thermostat and 2 computer fans. I used the glass from an old picture frame for the window on top

Very nice. Where did you find an ice chest that large?

Walmart has some HUGE coolers.

If I don't sell those Serama eggs, they'll be too old to ship Monday, so I'll be trying to figure out how to get them in one of the incubators.
