Funny! I have been looking for eggs for my new incubator and my hubby said today fill it up!!!! I holds 8 doz eggs

That would be my luck too! We need to pace ourselves. He also said you need three of these...

my husband is now my enabler

BYCer in my area has been kind enough to trade her eggs for me to hatch for my eating eggs. She has a lavender ameraucana roo over several hens should be mostly EE's which is what I really wanted now I am just hoping they will be mostly blues that would just be too good to be true! 2 dozen is a good start. I just hope the incubator works now! I had some leghorns but he had roo problems so next time. I will never fill it up for that many to hatch at one time. I scored a plywood trunk today for free so that is now going to be my hatcher! Staggered hatches are in my near future

Who needs three incubators?????

My husband still has not figured out the chicken lingo but he is getting better...

I posted this pic of all the breeds I have atm in my 2 styro incubators, on another forum, but I'm so proud of them! All except the quail were laid by my hens, and the quail are from a friend who lives a couple miles down the road:
