Incubators Anonymous

My name is Sheri, and I am a hatchaholic. I have had at least one incubator going nonstop since December 11, 2012. Getting ready to put more in tonight. They keep bringing me eggs so I feel I must hatch them

I'm a hatchaholic too! I have placed indian runner ducks and pekins and I am hatching my second set of Coturnix quail babies! I love seeing the Little guys hatch and candling. I also put in 3 little bantam eggs for a friend. They should hatch between april 20 and 22nd...

I considered myself cured - and then DH talked me into putting a few duck eggs in the incubator. Well, those few eggs looked so lonely ..... I now have 42 duck eggs going and a broody duck sitting on 16 more.

I knew I was a hatchaholic when I allowed my silkies to set on their mutt eggs just to see 1.what they would look like 2. if they would hatch, because they wanted to, because, because, because. I need a support group to stop me. They are the ugliest things I ever saw. They are dual mothers and it is fun to see, next time I will not use their eggs [no male silky] OR I could get a male. can't stop, need another hatch so I have midget whites in bator even though they eat to much. But they are sweet and friendly, [and taste good] maybe I can sell them, If I do I will do it some more so I do, even though no one has replied to ad wanting them after first potential sale I have yet to fill.

Hi my name is Lori and I am a Hatchaholic. I started 8 years ago with a tiny incubator and have graduated to a larger one. I am so relieved to know I am not alone.

Hi, my name is Amanda and while I am not an addict quite yet, I FULLY INTEND on being one in the future. I have some silkie eggs under broodies and some in an incubator. Two have hatched so far and two are pipped.

I'm not ashamed of my intentions. :-D

I wonder if there is a psychological profile that goes along with this addiciton?
