Incubators Anonymous

Lets see I have eggs at the post office I didn't even know were coming

More eggs at the Post Office in Nashville today and or tomorrow - well 2 sets because I forgot to tell him I moved

Chicks and more chicks and more chicks and a roo coming next week

Chicks coming out of the hatcher more going in and more eggs to set Saturday or Sunday

Did I tell you my incubator holds 540 eggs and I only have room for 2 trays more... well till I take the eggs out for lockdown then I can put in another 6.... hum progress there will still be room in the bator for more eggs YEAH...... I have to stop.... I am running out of brooder room..... the guinea will need their own brooder too along with the little turkeys I just hatchted

I think we ALL have a PROBLEM that is why we are here RIGHT?????

I have:

eggs in one incubator hatching today,

eggs in another incubator hatching tomorrow (and more eggs coming up behind those),

a box of live chicks due to arrive in the mail tomorrow,

a box of hatching eggs that should arrive in the mail tomorrow,

another order of hatching eggs which will be mailed to me on Saturday,

another box of chicks that *should* get mailed to me next week,

a mud room full of boxes of chicks of all ages,

2 cages outside with older chicks...

Do you think I might have a problem?

Problem? Not one I can see, but I am bad. I have two bantams in the brooder in the front room, babies in the brooder in the garage, and the incubator with eggs hatching.

I will have two brooders in here for a few weeks until I can get the garage cleared. The bantams will go out with the rest of the birds in the one pen. Then I can move the garage babies out to the pen. The Ducks that are due to hatch will go to garage and the turkeys will go to the front room.

By Then I should have more eggs in the bator and more hatched out....

I think that would cause my husband to file for divorce. I want one and he promised to build me one, but you know how that goes.

If I could earn money from them he would have no issues.... or at least if I could toss him money t get more rabbits he would be happy.
