Hey guys, I'm Diogo Pereira and I'm a 21yo portuguese aspiring Game Developer. I feel like i should start by aswering your questions about what the heck I'm doing here and it's pretty simple, I'm currently in my first year of masters learning how to make better games and stuff, but I'm also learning how to code and work with an arduino, so i think you see where I'm going with this. Me and a friend of mine are planing on building an incubator and control everything there is to control in it with an arduino.
The project still needs to be approved but I thinkourteacher will allow it. Anyways, about the chickens, I'm not new to them, both of my grandmas have chickens, my family is very rural so I felt like doing this project as kind of an homage to them. But that's about it, I can't really tell you much about them because I don't usually take care of them, I do live in the same house as my grandma right now and she has alot of them but i don't know the breeds or anything, what I can tell you is that their eggs are much better compared to store bought and the meat is also pretty high quality. Also if you haven't tried there's a portuguese dish you should try, it's called "Arroz de Cavidela", it's a rice dish made with rice (obviously), frayed chicken and chicken's blood, yes chickens blood, it's AMAZING trust me. About my hobbies, since im in the area of Game Developing I'm abviously a big fan of video games but I also enjoy farming and building stuff. How did I find BYC? Iwas just googling some stuff about incubators and it came up, and I think you already know why I'm joining. That wraps it up, thanks for reading my introduction! :D

Hi! Welcome to BYC! Good luck on your project! Where will the chicks go after they are hatched?

Thanks for telling me about Arroz de Cavidela, and what's in it. :sick Should I ever visit Portugal I'll know what not to order. :gig

If the project is approved and I end up testing it with chicken eggs they will propably be taken care by my grandma, i don't have a way to keep them so that's probably the only option i can think of, also this gift will be a present to her, so please don't tell her :p. As for your comment on of my favourite dishes I have to admit that when i found out what was in it I also got pretty disgusted, but I had already tasted it so I just accepted the whole deal xD. It is pretty weird to see bottles of chickens blood on your freezer though :/.
 
Howdy Diogo :frow and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.

Great introduction! :highfive:

Glad to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!
There are quite a few videos on YouTube of incubators and aquarium systems being run on arduino programs. Best wishes and Good luck with your project.

Thanks for joining our community! :celebrate
