How exciting! I've never hatched chicks but I dont imagine I'd get much sleep either.

Well I remember as a small child my dad had a small flock of chickens around age 8/9 my parents asked what I wonted for my birthday I told them chickens and that's what I got after a few years we got rid of them.

Then 26 years later at age 34 me and my wife were at the feed mill and they had some chicks but they were already sold about 2 weeks later my wife called and told me she was at the feed mill and asked if I still wonted some chicks she brought me 20 home over the next few weeks I had bought around 70 to 80 I raised them up to 7/8 months old and gave them all away but 30 since then I have tried to change out my birds every other year 7 months ago I bought 130 chicks from Murry McMurry a few died some got ate by a hawk and then their was the coyote, I sold a few and I ended up with 60 today . This incubator is something I have wonted to do for a long time and I would suggest everyone that likes raising chickens and has children to try it.

Woke this morning to 9 babies in the incubator the total so far is 22 so we have broke the 50% mark but hopefully not finished
