Hi my name is Sara and I'm a hatching addict

[Everwyldacres]

Howdy from central Wyoming where I keep a small flock of chickens consisting of easter eggers, 2 GL Wyandotte, and one giant light brahma. Oh. And one dang rooster. The girls keep us in eggs and I have enough left over to sell to a few loyal customers. I just hatched out my second batch of chicks and I'm completely addicted to it! Our rooster is a little- special- and out of 22 eggs only 8 were fertile. But I did get all 8 of those to hatch! I used the incubating and hatching forum posts and I feel like I really am starting to understand the process. Anyway, here are the stars of the show at one week, 2 days old:

Super cute chicks! I love incubating and hatching!

Welcome.
The first step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
Although you did just do the equivalent of walking into a bar during happy hour.
I'll be your sponsor. If anyone offers you hatching eggs, call me and I'll talk you down. Remember =

It’s so difficult to say no to hatching. The thrill of incubating newbies is delightful. Not to mention, I am the first person my friends call when an animal or baby chicks need a new home! My hubby thought I might stop after adopting a human child....Nope. 7 years after that, I still take hatchlings (Or abandoned dogs) that need a home. Fortunately right now we have an aging cat, my little flock, 2 teenagers and a 20 year old at home. So I’m good.... for now!!!

Hello, Sara, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Unfortunately you will not find support groups to help you overcome your addiction here... just enablers. And one of the biggest ones just welcomed you.
