My DH has joined the rave!

My husband has been watching from afar, but NOW, that he helped build a bator, he is going to build his OWN, KING OF KINGS, SUPER-DUPER, GI-NORMOUS bator.

I asked him what he's gonna hatch?

His answer:

Alligators

That's so cool that your hubby got into the hatching madness...not so much 120 quail eggs at once though, I feel for ya there!

After Skip and I had the bike wreck, I set a hatch of our own eggs, just so he actually got to see a hatch for himself and it was about nerve-wracking, for me as I couldn't hardly get on the computer (the room where I have the bator set up).
At the same time, it was so cool to watch him act like a little kid about watching the chick pip and zip and hatch...ain't seen cheerleading like that since I graduated high school in '85.

This is not good!!!!!

In one hatch he outdoes me!!! I think in order to up the competition I'll have to hatch something huge so its mass is equal to his quantity of peepers he'll have in a few weeks. I guess that's just what I'll have to do. Just have to be careful though that whatever I hatch doesn't eat the dog.

Any suggestion? No alligators or weird lizzardy type things its way too cold up here. Maybe an emu or a pterodactyl. That should do it but of course we're back to the dog eating thing.

Peacock! (or two

) That should equal about 120 quail.

My husband started all of this in the first place, but I had to figure out how to make it work

So be careful what you wish for.

another one bites the dust!

Now that's not a bad idea!

How big are Peacock eggs? After all, in this conversation, size does matter!

 

[warcard]

3-inchs long about 8-in around. This is just a guess since I am at work and not looking at one. Maybe stack 3 guinea eggs together in a triangle to get an idea. Check the trade, buy, swap thread. I have seen some on there, and you could get the different colors not just your standard blue.

Has some good pictures of the different colors, look in the peafowl varieties database.
