First Time Egg Candler Scared!

[coleson12]

no, would never, what eggs are even that expensive?

Hova bator genesis it was $150 with shipping, the egg turner $50 with shipping, fancy thermometer $25 with shipping, around $75 for brooder, food, feeder, water, other, etc.

I'm hoping that about $275 of it was the incubator

The eggs were free, most were buff orpington and americana mix, but some were a black and white speckled bird mixed with an Americana, and a white bird mixed with Americana. The price may have been more like $250.

There is a lot of stuff that once you get it you can just keep using it forever but to start the investment takes a lot, if you want a good bator.

that's good then.I think we were both afraid that you were incubating $300 eggs for the first time

Whew!! Then that's a good investment, yay I was afraid you spent that much on eggs.....lol I've seen people buy rare expensive eggs for their first hatch attempt...I cringe...lol

Those mixes will be called easter eggers. Beautiful birds that lay blue and green eggs
