And for the record... TWO people were outbidding you. There was another person in there too!

LOL!

glad i'll have a hatching buddy tho with the same eggs!

now i can see how much is me obsessing over eggs, and how much is shipping related. can't wait to get em.

My brooders are outside, and in an insulated room in the barn. DH is very sensitive to odors. I had chicks in the bathtub last winter. I loved it

All of you need to quit fooling yourselves about quitting hatching eggs..... If you hatch them now they will be laying in the spring....That's what I tell myself every time I fill the bator or buy hatching eggs!

besides the chickens are really starting to lay good again after that HOT summer!

I currently have 22 bearded Silkie & 12 bantam Cochin eggs in the incubator!! One of my bantam Cochin hens is broody & sitting on eggs too!! I figure if nature says it's still breeding season...

So all I can say is I'm clucky for fuxzzy butts. I have a RIR rooster that I'm gonna breed to white leghorn. The babies will be very cute.

Mine haven't even hatched yet and I'm already thinking about the next batch!

Whatever you all do, don't run an extra incubator as a hatcher.
This is what will happen: You will throw anything and everything that looks interesting or hopeful into the incubator. When they hit day 18 you'll put them in the hatcher. This will make room in the incubator for MORE interesting eggs. You won't even know what hit you until it's too late. Every week you'll have new ones hatching, and the possibilities are endless.

I've been cycling eggs through my incubator and two hatchers since September 4th, hatching every week after the first batch. It's really hard to stop. I have 5 different holding stations for newly hatched, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, and 5 weeks. It's insane. Finally I'm down to only 4 places where I have to feed, water and clean because some are old enough to be together. They are in a heated holding shelter outside. At least it's not that cold yet, and they'll be big enough to be in the barn off heat soon. I really think this next batch will be my last... Don't laugh...
