ya gotta luv it that's how it all starts ,,, one day your happy having a few hens for fresh eggs then a few more and then a roo or two one day your walking about in the feed store and spot a incubator and you think ,,, well I'll give it a try ... It works and along come a few more and more and more and wella you have no place to keep them so you build a few more pens problem solved so know that you have the new housing and success with the bator you buy some eggs of that breed you always just had to have but could never find at chick days at the feed store so you order eggs and a way you go and go and go ohhhh now you need more pens and more and more ..... Well that's how it happened to me any way lol I don't think my story is a whole lot different than many here ,,,,, hooked chicken math gotta love it !Yeah El I prolly will be on here all months and whichever breeds I can find their eggs (Guinea duck chicken.)
I made a homemade bator that holds about 100 large fowl eggs. As well as the old LG still going after 6 years!!! And 1 I just replaced thermostat with a hovabator wafer. 2 LGs are still air and homemade is dual forced. I did spend $27 on the wafer but found my other thermo control day after I hit Complete CheckoutBut I used in the other LG so I figure I got a new bator at a little over 1/2 price. Good thing I didn't listen to my mother and just "Buy a new darn incubator."
And my guineas hatched last year, hoping for it again. Since we have 6 hens rather than 3 this year.
Chicken math gonna kill me but it will all work out. If not and the world comes to an end.... we'll have plenty to eat.
