Hello from central valley CA

[Pancholoco]

I'm new here already have 5 hens and a rooster, I maid my own chicken coop and today I bought a Genesis Hova-Bator 1588 incubator from CL almost new (used once only) with auto egg turner for a half price, well my plans are grow my own layer starting from eggs and maybe sell some. Recently got an open heart surgery so I'll be dissabled for a long time now I'm getting well a little weak but here I am.

Good luck on your recovery--I know it can be a slow road, but you'll get there.

Your chicken house looks great! Your flock looks very happy. And congrats on the incubator!! Half-price--wow! I really wanted one of those but too expensive right now. I kept my eye on CL but no luck. I bought a Little Giant with auto-turner at Tractor Supply instead and a separate thermometer/hygrometer at a pet store.

I live in Vermont now but was raised out west (born in San Francisco, grew up in Seattle). Welcome!

Thanks.

Oh, I also wanted to say that you should sanitize the incubator really well before using it,

What I need to use to do it???

Here's a good thread. Bottom line: very weak bleach solution and sunlight to dry it. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/438656/cleaning-incubator
