You are soooooooo right. That was ME !!!!!!!!!!! I totally blame people around me. If people would stop calling me and wanting babies, then I could put up the little bitty incubator that I have. But they keep calling and they want baby chicks, poults, geese and peas. I'm a product of my environment. Peer pressure is on the rise.

No scovies?

And no blame on ME, of course!     I'm no enabler! (that would be JEFF)!

LOL

Oh yea, they are asking for scovies but I'm not listening. I won't hatch any of them until 2020.

It's amazing how so many people what so much. Everyone is trying to have their own eggs and meat and I can't blame thing.

Julie,
That's ok...it's one of those things that you either like it or you really like it!!!! I bought a lg cabinet incubator late last year and still have my two foam units. All three have been going non stop since January.

Gracie,
Something you might consider doing....I'm not sure if it will work with goose eggs but it made things much easier for me with my chicken eggs. instead of keeping tract of a bunch of different dates this is what I do now....

I collect my eggs all week from Monday to Sunday marking whats what as they come out the pens. On Sunday evening I set all the eggs collected that week and put the set date on a piece of tape and stick it to the tray. The eggs come out the cabinet incubator on day 18 (Day 18 will always fall on a Thursday night) and they go into the foam incubators. I use plastic trays turned upside down over certain eggs to separate the chicks of the same breed from different pens. Then toe punch the chicks as they come out the incubators before they go into the brooders.

The main thing that I'm trying to tell you is that I set eggs every Sunday evening and put eggs in lock-down every Thursday evening. This way I don't ever forget and leave eggs in my cabinet incubator to hatch. It has made things super easy for me. On Thursday evening's I open the Cabinet incubator and check to see what tray has the oldest date on it and those are the eggs that go into the two hatchers. I don't have to think about it at all!

Like I said I'm not sure if this will work with the goose eggs but I'm sure you will get it worked out. In the beginning I was opening the Cabinet every couple nights moving eggs around. That got old fast!

Chris, that is usually how I do it as well. My nightmare vacation threw my schedule off a bit, but it's no big deal. I couldn't imagine having chicks hatching every few days

Once a week is plenty for me!

I tried the refrigerator with the incukits, and it was a total disaster! I couldn't get the temperature any lower than about 118 degrees!

I tried 2 different incukits, and had the same problem with both. I figured my sebbie eggs were too valuable to experiment with, so I just bit the bullet and ordered this one! So glad I did!


It took about 4 weeks for mine, but it was worth the wait! He asks for a $200 deposit to start on it with the rest due when he ships. GO FOR IT!

Now look who's being an enabler!
