Hatching eggs for other people who can't hatch their own?

[Kennas_Kritters]

I recently got a incubator and was wondering if any of you have tried hatching eggs for other people? I was thinking of maybe trying to hatch eggs for other people that can't hatch their own. If I did this I would probably ask for a few of the chicks OR a little money in exchange for hatching them. What would be the pros and cons of doing this? I just think since I have a incubator and I'm so focused on hatching stuff maybe I should share the love! Some people don't have a incubator at home. Some people would just rather not fool with one. I think it would be a good thing to do when I'm not hatching my own eggs. What are y'all's thoughts on doing something like this?

Make friends with folks on your local Facebook chicken group, I have met so many people and I have incubated for some in exchange for both eggs and birds at different times, exchanged chicks for eggs, and sold off all the extras in between. Made enough money to cover the expense of my second incubator and my bird feed. I'm not trying to turn a profit really, just recoup expenses and I may have a bit of an incubating addiction....

I have done it a few times for free, but if you are doing it as more of a regular thing, I would suggest charging a small fee to cover the expenses of hatching.
