I'm Hearing That Little Voice Again.

I could stop you by taking that sportsman off your hands

Problem is I would just go out and buy another one.

I heard that same voice but I ignored it.THEN I heard the bator calling "More eggs More eggs" all the way from the attic where I had put it so I couldn't hear it but it didn't work.
So now I have 36 eggs in the bator

and a real good reason why I will have to clean out the basement..may be too cold to put them in my outside brooder so they may have to stay in for a bit...plus those are a wee bit full right now. My DH only shook his head.
Oh wait...was I supposed to stop you..sorry

Those eggs are only 1 click away..1 click about 25 days-shipping time and numerous trips to the bator to peek before

.
Now to be fair the down side is more chick feed to buy unless you are already buying so much you won't notice the difference

I too, want to fire up the monster bator. My girls are the only thing keeping me from doing it. They quit on me about 2 months ago and its been so long since I've seen an egg, I probably wouldn't know what it was. I hatched out my last batch the beginning of Sept.

I'm starting to shake again and get the cold sweats.

I may have to start drinking again.

Not sure if i could stop you as i'm looking for someone to stop me. Spring really did me in with tons of hatching and my back room filled with dust for months. i swore i was done for the year.

But then i thought, hey, why not let my broodies sit on eggs. i have four batches of babies now, three groups in hutches in my shed. One group i just integrated into an existing outdoor group. i have one broody sitting on eggs, and pondering what to do with the four eggs i have collected from my showgirl pen. i was going to stop hatching, but this last hatch produced a partridge showgirl (from a columbian roo and white hen). So now all those eggs are potential partridge showgirls. (woooo hoooooooo!)

i just don't think i can resist seeing what pops out.

I can't believe what I heard last night. I said something about selling a bunch of eggs this spring, and DH, my DH, said "I bet you could sell a lot more if you hatched them". Talk about an enabler! Besides, I have 10 longcrowers due the 24th, 4 eggs under a broody, leghorns on the way, and some surprise eggs too. So much for down time.

Mine is calling to me too, but it's getting too cold here, so I must resist. Besides, my babies are only 3 weeks old and I need to get them grown and integrated first.

But I can't wait til spring!!!! Already have eggs lined up!! And my husband is all prepared to build me another coop in the spring.

ETA: Of course he thinks it's just for meaties.

And my wish list is just growing.............too many breeds and I WANT THEM ALL!!!!!

No, tell me you aren't getting longcrowers! i played a youtube video for my husband and said now he can't complain about how annoying our Tony's crow is. At least it doesn't last for 38 seconds.

 

[jenjscott]

Well, DH said they will probably all be hens, since its usually the other way around, but yes longcrowers, and all we want is one rooster. Anybody want a longcrower?

 

[Happy Chooks]

excuse my ignorance, but WT heck is a longcrower???

Hears The same voice........ Locked the Bator in the incubation closet. ( yes I have a little incubator room set aside just for the bator don't judge me ! ) but the voice it calls me like a Siren's song but I must resist..... must wait until a little bit before march first maybe February 28th or 27th..... but once I get close to that time I am going to go crazy and get eggs, lots of them ! But the voices they tell me that it is so far away and that I will never make it. but I will sadly prove them wrong for I have the best addiction suppressant
