I did it!

Well, folks, I have done it. I completely lost my mind. I am now certifiably insane.

Why, you ask??

Well --

I ordered a brand new Sportsman 1502 today.



I've never even hatched a single egg in my life, so of course the first thing I do is rush out and spend hundreds of bucks on a humongous incubator.

Told ya. I'm insane.

But I plan on having fun!

 

Thanks!

I do at least have a logical-sounding excuse for getting it.

You see, I have fallen in love with bantam araucanas. I now have 7 hens, and I intend to incubate every darned egg they lay. And, even in the depths of winter, I'm getting quite a few eggs (relatively speaking) -- more than a dozen a week.

Hopefully I'll be setting eggs every week. So, if I got the small incubators, I'd have to get multiple incubators -- to handle both incubation and hatching. That means more bucks to buy, more electricity to run, more instability in conditions, AND more maintenance.

But with the Sportsman, I can set eggs every week AND hatch -- all in the same machine. More stable, less maintenance, less worry.

So you see, I really needed it. Really!!
