MARCH 2021 HATCH-A-LONG 🌷🌸🌼

I've got Black Copper Marans hatching today! Valentine's day babies!

Can't wait to see them!

Ah so eggciting!

black copper marans, cuckoo marans and lavender auracanas are on my March hatch wish list!

My goal is to crossbreed an auracana cockerel with a Maran hen and my welsummer hen and hatch some olive eggers later this summer!

Then I’ll have a pretty good rainbow of eggs going!

I'm itching for some olive eggers and more easter eggers!

Candled the silkie eggs last night and 12 out of the 13 are developing and fertile!

I've decided to pick up some cream legbar hatching eggs after my Silkies hatch.... Then, as much as I want to pick up some other breeds, I will probably stop for a while and see how everything develops over the summer. Last summer I lost quite a few chickens (15) to predators and illnesses like Salpingitis. If I don't lose many this year (mostly because I know better what I'm doing now), then I probably won't pick up more until next year.... I want to be respectful of space for my existing animals, not to mention how much it costs to feed them all... I have 40 birds right now WITHOUT the 22 Silkie currently in the incubator.

Posted this on the spectacular silkies thread as well, but thought all you silkie incubators/hatchers here would also enjoy it! Photo from this morning.
The plate they are all standing on is a dessert sized plate.
6 silkies hatched Friday and Saturday. First chicks from my stock I got from Alabama silkies. So excited and they are already sold (I have a wait list). Keeping back one so far. Have some more hatching next week (I am on the February hatch along as well).
I guess I am an "official" silkie breeder now!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Do you have a local buy and sell website in Austria? Maybe you can find a good used one?
Wonder if you can get one sent over from the US, like the Nurture Right 360, you would have to use a converter for the electricity though. They are around $150 US.
Brinsea is made in Great Britain. They are pricey here, so expect they are there as well. I know that Great Britain is no longer a part of the EU, but maybe getting one from there would be doable?

I already visited some sites but the shipping cost are above 80$....
I will save money for this incubator
