When you wash water, doesn't it just make the water dirtier?
Is it wetter under water when it rains?
Why can't you roller skate in a buffalo field?
How many people watched "The Princess Bride" today?
Is yesterday as far away as tomorrow at noon today?
Why is an orange orange? Did we run out of names?

Hi there! Personally, I like to think of it as gaining a year... not losing a year!

I have a bator build in mind, but in no hurry to proceed with the mini "refigerbator". I scored a dead mini fridge and gutted it. Will be able to fit a couple of egg turners in, but will have to trim off a row on each turner since the fridge is only 15 1/2"W x 13"D. The Hova-Bator 1611 is 15" x 15" x 3" and holds 41 eggs, but by removing the end row(s), each will only hold 34 eggs. This setup will still be able to incubate 68 eggs simultaneously, which is probably more than I'll be setting at at once for quite awhile. I'll be trimming off the door shelves and adding dual glasses to the front.

The refrigerbator shell:


Thanks to the tip by @MotorcycleChick I swang by Wal-Mart this evening and picked up some icing buckets to make water containers out of. The (roughly) 3 gallon food grade buckets (w/lids) cost $1 each, and I would have bought several more but they only had 4 available. They're sturdy plastic, so they'll have no trouble accepting horizontal poultry nipples...



Count me in with the busy crowd.

Yes, no, IDK, Lots (one of the best movies ever and yes I saw you profess your love to Benny) My brain hurt a little on the next question... Some guy named it... and no. LOL

Well, cat is out of the bag. Right now laying in hospital in Lovell Wyoming waiting for ambulance to take me to Billings for a heart cath and probable stenting this morning. This we did not expect already. Wish me luck!
