Pass on the savings and sell them to me! That is if you ship...

I think I will hatch them.

That's what I mean, hatch them and sell me the chicks, cheap of course!

I am thinking I am going to keep them.... where to put them is another problem... I will see how many hatch and then figure that out later

If I were you I would do the same thing. I paid a whole lot more than a bag of feed for my ccl eggs. Luckily I had good hatch rates with them.

So today I got cream legbar eggs, 5 of them plus I got 7 Norwegian jaerhorn eggs! That is perfect, I was wanting to add the jaerhorn and I was lucky enough to get them in the September swap!

I got 12 CCL a gallon of grapes to can and 20 water nipples for $20

If I get my GNH in time I will set them with my Wyandotte eggs and that will be one of my last BIG batches in the bator.

How did ya find that?

Well she wanted a bag of feed and I didn't have one so offered $20 and she volunteered the nipples and grapes. I am making jelly now!

Hello, my name is Clucky and I'm afraid I'm an incubating addict. I started out just wanting to test my home made incubator on some Trader Joe fertile eggs, and when they hatched, I could feel the awe, the Power, THE CUTENESS!

My last batch of eggs didn't work out, so now it's that Vegas feeling, do I feel lucky?

Can I get Serama eggs to hatch next time?

And worst still.... wouldn't it be good to make that old cooler into a second 'bator? So I'm about to go outside and clean up that old cooler. The question is, should I reuse the parts of the first 'bator or spend $15 and make this a second 'bator with the first as backup?

I tend to want to spend the money but then my hubby will know I've spent money again... ugh, hate getting yelled at,

BTW, you guys are so funny!

WELCOME! I would use one as a hatcher and one as an incubator, so you can have staggared hatches

in that case I think you need to spend the $15 so they BOTH work. Buy him a shop light or something and he will not pay any attention to the $15 of stuff in the bag too. BLIND him with TOOLS!

OK.... I am really going to STOP hatching. I set some GNH and CCL and BLRW and Lavs and Blacks and who knows what. I think about 45 eggs, but I know some are not going to be fertile. I am not having great luck with the GNH.... hubby really wants be to get rid of them... I think he might be right. I might sell the pullets and hens, keep a roo for sex links in the spring. IDK.... something is going to have to give, I have TOOOOOO many new breeds I like better.... choc orps,

CCL or is it CLB , White Wyandottes and I think something else. I know the EE have to go and so do the Olive Eggers. Spring might be it for those breeding pens. I can always make more Olive Eggers, I pretty much sold all my EE, but I kept a roo and a pullet or two. Might should get rid of them too to keep temptation away.... in the spring.... after I hatch some

I need to get some paper and work this out AGAIN

Oh gosh, I sure hope my limited space with keep things under control here, but somehow I doubt it! Good luck! BTW, some of the prettiest roos I've ever seen were EE!
