Jenichick-Your husband sounds just like mine lol. It starts with the incubators then more pens. My DH is like how many birds do you plan on having...... I told him about 60 +. He about had a heart attack but, hes okay with it now. He actually getting into raising the birds with me.

Hatching is so much fun! Keep us updated on how it goes.

Hi Jen!!!! Your Hubby sounds like a sweetheart

I was hoping to get a box of eggs for you in yesterdays mail (had the box ready to go), but it didn't work out.
Come hellorhighwater, a box of fresh eggs will be headed your way tomorrow.
Sorry for the delay

Thanks Lisa, Yippiee!

I'm on call at work this week so between that, Pidge hatching her babies in the coop and the new ones, I haven't had time to get the incubator set up and tested, so today is fine. I will have it set up and running tonight for a couple of days til the eggs get here.

This morning we went out to check on "Scruffy" the first from our hen, to see how it was getting along with the other babies, and it was up walking around and eating, and DH looks acrross the brooder at me and says: "You realize that if all of Pidges eggs hatch and all 16 of these live, and you have a good hatch in your new incubator and you probably will knowing you, WE'D HAVE 57 CHICKENS!!"

I said well, all of Pidge's won't hatch, and all of them most likely won't hatch from the incubator....he quickly interrupted with a sheepish grin and said - OH, so we'll have around 47 then.....he he heee

I luv him...

Got my incubator all set up last night. I'm impatient with that wafer thing. First I got it up to 104 degrees, then down to 84, then up to 95 then up to 98. Can't wait to see what it is when I get home.
