Got the Fever-Took the Plunge - Walked off the Edge

[Guitartists]

All I can say is thank God it takes so long to hatch chicken eggs..... or we'd be overrun!!!!

No, wait.... I've changed my mind... Curse the Gods!!!

That it takes so long to hatch chicken eggs!!! I need more bators!!!!! I don't want to wait that long for my next batch to go in!!!!

Too many chickens..... too little time

Ok here is what happens when the fever hits

Mixed duck out on the 6th

Bator 1 has

Silkies frome hinjc (jody)
NN and NN x frizzles (I think) these are from Dipsy Doodle doo
Hatch date is May 11th so have to move them on the 8th of May

Bator 2 has procelain d'UCCLE from Gracefulbantams hatch date is May 17 th so I have to move them on the 14th of May

unknown eggs (bantys from auction here) need some for broody mama thats what I told DH any how

so bought 3 doz and gave her 8 rest in bator hatch date is 21 of May so will move on the 18 of May

Plus I have a broody hatching out on the 21 also but do not have to move these eggs LOL

So that is how the Month of May is looking for me

I need a 12 step program

I am so tempted to buy a "bator". Is it really as hard as I have read? Can you incubate all year or just spring?

As long as you have eggs to set you can do it all year long. Heck
maybe you can make Christmas gifts out of them.

I almost bought a "bator" too. Instead I have a "broody" hen and I don't know if I want her to hatch her eggs or eat them!

I think I am getting hooked. I went to the hatchery today (under the pretense of buying more food) just to look at their incubators. There are so many breeds I would love to have, I wouldn't know where to start.
