Hi My name is Kim Andersen I am an addict to the point of my bator takes 40 so I fill it every time. I start saving eggs so I can put them in two days after the hatch. I have purchased another bator now I am collecting duck eggs. I had a hatch of 31 last month in two weeks another hatch will start. I have a dedicated hen setting on eggs (about 10 to 15) I have Leg horns Rooster is of course foghorn leghorn. and australorp rooster is jhose geese take care of their own. Two hens had 14 babies last year.
