EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Phage]

 
Have no idea, don't really use the BYC FB.

Nice find!

Wow, I didn't even know there was a going rate for hatching eggs for someone else. 

Me either, I just learned  I do not charge enough for my EE's.  I am selling them for a buck each if you buy 50,  $1.50 if you buy less...


Also @Phage
  do you worry about bringing in disease when you hatch other peoples eggs?   Are they from a NPIP flock?    do you disinfect before placing them in your incubator?  Are they kept separate from your own eggs and chicks?


I know, I am paranoid about diseases....What can I say?

Yes I am totally totally paranoid as well so only hatch for one person at a time. I don't do it often, actually only for 3 people that I know well.
Never mix chicks (they don't leave the bator) and chicks must leave on hatch day.
Also the brinsea is easy to clean- being metal and plastic - This is the main reason I went for the brinsea.

1. You will miss all the fun


2. Set them all


3. Woo whoo.


If you set the eggs, then sell the chicks and make lots of $$$$$$$ then you can go buy the new bator.


How much more do you get for chicks compared to eggs, and how more many chicks would you need to hatch to pay for one, if the extra "egg" chicks were to be hatched?? Then you can justify buying one to WWD.


Hope you get what I was trying to say.


BTW justification is over rated IMO -easier to just do it and beg forgiveness .


Nothing would happen chez moi if we had to discuss everything.

I have 3 incubators (real ones)  4 foamies I try to never use and 1 hatcher. I am not sure I need more.  What I get for eggs and chicks depends on the breed.    I can justify anything.

Send me Marans eggs! Send me Marans eggs! Send me Marans eggs!Send me Marans eggs!!!

I know selling chicks as soon as they hatch is REALLY important but that seems to be way cheap for EEs. Even 50c more each makes them a great deal.

I realy want a good Marans hen, for my colorful eggs basket ! It is extremely hard to find good Maranas breeding stock here!
So I guess I do want to hatch some Marsnas. I will pay 20$ for 4 eggs.

You may have a problem. AI outbreaks have caused shipping cessation in many states here.
