Well lets see. At 71 decided to expand things a bit after retiring a year ago. Been hatching eggs for 3 years and looking to expand things a bit. Have RIR, Leghorns, White Plymouth Rock, Chocolate Orpington and Breese running around the yard, about 150 all together I guess. Some goats and turkeys to keep the hawks at bay. Can set about 500 eggs right now and thinking I'll grow that some this year. Built an incubator from and old freezer, works pretty good so far. Looking for a good supply of eggs to hatch if anyone has found suppliers around Ohio, it would help.

After 71 years of trying and watching others try, I can confirm that.
