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

[Yemimah]

Also I have made a request for BYC Facebook but no one is responding and it has been at least 24 hours. How long does it take usually?

Look what I found:




The rest are too far back and too hard to get a picture of.

I am hoping to get an incubator soon. I was sad to not be able to do the hatch along this year . Oh well. I guess there is next year.

Congrats on your first hatchlings and many more to you.

I loved the pictures of Sally Sunshine's chickens in the FF thread. Are they full size Cochin or bantams? I have both and have to admit that I really adore this breed !

i think they are brahmas on it

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.

i thought you wanted another cabinet??

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 am in total agreement with this statement

It goes both ways. I really don't want to discuss for the billionth time what new bike wheels DH should get for his bike. They are all stupid expensive (like the cost of a cabinet bator) and he should get what he wants. It is his ONLY vice and keeps him healthy so I figure I am pretty lucky.

Thing is he needs me to say that what he wants is a fabulous idea like a gazillion times before he goes out and gets it.

That said I told him that the brinsea bator was on sale and that day was the last day of the sale (all true) and he said just get it now before the sale is over (in 2 hours)!! I was totally shocked (as he gives the appearance of hating the chickens) but that is how I got it!!

The bator has certainly paid for itself though over the years. Last week I hatched a tray of 50 eggs for this guy. I gave him the chicks and he handed me a wad of $$ saying the eggs were precious and I get him far higher hatch rates than anyone else. I was expecting $20 but when I got home and counted it it was $150. I checked with him and he said the goig rate is $1.50 per egg going in and an additional $1.50 per hatched chick. I have 2 more trays of his eggs in there..
