I manage to hatch a pekin partridge bantam, my wife fell in love with it straight away, they cuddle up most nights and watch tv. I took this as a green light and now have more eggs in the incubator than you can shake a stick at, she knows about the ones in the incubator but not about the ones that are winging their way here thanks to eBay and the Royal Mail service. Might find myself sleeping in the hen house soon. Oh well , worth it.
Hey, it was his suggestion to put 'the money' in the house when 2 heat lamps in outdoor brooder wasn't enough to prevent a smothering;-)
