I know I'm not the only one...

I'm not the only one but in the "normal world" I feel like I am! lol So I must make my way here to BYC...

Apparently I have this compulsion to put all the eggs that my hens lay into a magic box and see if something pops out of them in 3 weeks... I can't stop!!! Now the incubator is full, and I have no eggs for breakfast! LOL

I can't wait til Sunday when I move a dozen into the hatcher... then I can put MORE into the incubator!

Is that the diagnoses, doc? Will I make it? How long do I have? LOL

A dear friend of mine said-

Amazing. 100 degrees for 3 minutes and you have breakfast. 100 degrees for 3 weeks and you have life.

Pretty weird trying to put that in perspective!

It still boggles my mind how it works. I just can't fathom it. But I too look at all the eggs I gather and go Hummmmmm I wonder...........

I actually had a dozen sitting on my counter as my last hatch was finishing up I was going to stuff them in with the duck eggs but decided against it. I just ordered the breeds I wanted... Ya know new blood for the flock

All I have is a small chicken coop and a bantam cage, even though my dad is building another chicken coop bigger than the one I already have I ordered 13 layers, 12 meat birds, and 6 ducks! I already have 13 layers and 4 bantams, and 5 ducks I KEEP GETTING MORE!!

I ordered 15 polish eggs off ebay and I am getting more from a friend and I am also still going on uncle henrys and looking for more!!!!!! I am going to be an animal horder i swear!! (im not really that bad) But I know what it is like omg!!

I feel your pain... I can easily become a hoarder.. I have 2 empty barn stalls and a unused garage I can still fill. OK one stall the ducks are going to get one

Animal hoarders R Us!!! As long as they are all fat and happy, well cared for and clean, I am all for hoarding!
