Granny's gone and done it again

My DH bought an incubator today.

thats exciting! I used to love hatching. I must have at least 3 incubators including the one I made from a mini fridge.

Is it cheaper to buy hatching eggs than chicks? I know there are breeds I want that only offer eggs, not chicks ...

Technical yes but we also take the risk of the eggs not hatching, USPS making them very expensive scrambled eggs, the seller BSing what they sent you and so forth. It really depends on is the risk worth the reward.

I know some breeders actually refuse to ship eggs because of what can go wrong, so take that as you will.

I own personally two, one a 360 from tsc, holds like 25 large eggs

I also have a redwood cabinet one that can hold uhhh... I think probably 100? it needs to be rewired though and all that.
