Howdy hot pepper lady....how goes tonight?

Hi Phil!  Life is good!  How are things your way?

Ooh you were talking to her. Makes much more sense, given the fact im neither hot nor a lady.

Sleepless.....other wise okay...got a nice incubator....just needed to pick up a few things so I can monitor temp and humidity....and I should be able to hatch some birds come spring....

That is AWESOME!! I just ordered ANOTHER incubator, since I don't trust my last one we've started calling the "Death bator". But, i was not smart and bid on a couple of auctions and have a bunch of eggs coming my way. I think 1 last hatch in my oldest 'bator, before I get the new one set up and stable.

What kind of incubator did you get?

How is the weather there?

Less Star Wars, more I only successfully hatched 2 chicks out of 26 in it. That was just used as a lock down bator. The previous one i had, had closer to an 80% hatch rate. Gopro17 names it the deathbator since I killed so many chicks...

Icelandics? Never heard of em.

they are a rare breed...from Iceland....they are actually the chicken being featured this month on BYC...I got a hold of a breeder a few weeks back to get eggs ordered for this spring.

I thought ducks were harder to hatch than chickens. I'll have to look up Icelandics to see what they are. I wish you the best of luck!

I just ordered the Brinsea 40. Found a 10% off coupon so gave it a shot.

I do have 4 tiny little babies that just got moved to the brooder. 3 healthy, one gimpy. 2 Buff Brahmas and 2 silkies. One of the silkies is gimpy. It seems to be getting stronger though.
