I will not drag out my bator!!!!

[peewee]

O.K. guys. The pics of all the beautiful little fuzz butts are not helping me to keep the bator on the shelf. I started with only five adult quail that were running around in one of my pheasant pens. While I was cleaning out the pen I had noticed that I had over looked some eggs and not knowing how old they were I was reluctant to eat them. So I put them in the bator and low-and-behold they hatched. Cutest little things I have ever seen. Can we say hooked? Since I can not eat them as adults (I get WAY to attached to them) I only keep them as pets. Now I have almost 50 of the buggers and I DO NOT need any more mouths to feed. But seeing all the little babies in the pics. I keep trying to justify to myself that I need more. Half the time I am convinced that I just got to have some eggs to set, then the rational part of my brain tells me I really have enough. I don't know what I am going to do when all of mine start to lay. Hubbie may have to "accidentally" throw the bator away.

Send them to Arkansas. We need to re-populate the quail. I'm seriously thinking about hatch & release.

Your bator ain't running

Get it down! Fill it! That is what it is for!

You really weren't expecting us to tell you to not hatch...were you?

these are NOT quail eggs, so they will NOT tempt you to pull out your bator! They are sold and shipped and set already anyhow. These are the "Extreme Half Dozens" from last week's auction.

Why are you sitting here on the computer typing your self-denial instead of cleaning up the incubator? Crazy lady! Lol. Really, hatch some more, then sell them off to people who want them as pets. Then sell the eggs for hatching eggs to help prevent from incubating them.
