Just Joined and planning on hatching once again. Used to raise several species back when I was in high school down in St.Augustine, FL. Now I live in the blink and you'll miss it town of Cascade, VA. Although I have been in the Navy for the last 14 years and now my service is over. Species I formerly hatched, Emu, Rhea, Egyptian Geese, Marbled Teal, Green Wing Teal, Mandarin Duck, Muscovy Duck, Red/Yellow Golden Pheasant, Silver Pheasant, Reeve's Pheasant, Peafowl, Button Quail, Pharoah Quail, Bobwhite Quail, Chukar, and several domestic breeds of chickens, ducks and geese, as well as indoor exotic birds, did I mention I love birds of all types not just outdoor. So far my new collection not including the indoor birds. 7 Heritage Leghorns which should start laying soon, couple of barred rocks, and 5 silkies. Currently I have 48 barn yard eggs in a Chinese Digi plastic incubator w/ turner. I picked the eggs up from the local poultry auction. The Chinese incubator so far seems to be pretty good it is holding temp well, although the humidity likes to spike into the 90s. So probably in the future I will save that incubator for duck eggs. Planning on purchasing a GQF 1502 soon and hatch out some rare eggs that I have been seeing online that weren't available to me back before I was in the Navy.
