First Time Incubating. *Pics*

The days just crawl by when you have to wait on something

I'm thinking about building another incubator so I only have to wait 3 weeks one more time time then just 11 days after that for each hatch!

Lol. I just cleaned up my mums old incubator and I'm setting some more eggs at the end of the week for another friend I've given "I-Must-Have-Chickens" fever. Great minds think alike. The old incubator (my mums) can hold twice as many eggs as mine but it's shorter so I'm considering using hers as my incubator and mine as a hatcher, so I can have chickens coming out the wazoo and hatching all the time.

Here is my currant brooder:





And I'm just putting the finishing touches on my new one which is 4 times the size but doesn't yet hold heat properly.

And to finish this post off, here's another photo of one of my Sebrights;


It's still tiny, but those wings are growing real quick.

This is going to be my next incubator... its a 9.9 cubic ft. 4ft. tall mini fridge that will hold 3 automatic egg turners no problem! I'm going to start on this project this weekend.

Looks great!

I can't wait to see how your new incubator progresses. I wonder how many eggs it could hold... So many chicks...
