I could definetly see myself with more than just my 7 girls!! I am sure that this has been discussed before but what incubator would ya'll recommend that would hold it's temp as our house gets pretty cold at night in the winter time - and I need it to hold about 25 large eggs. Thanks again!!

This is probably the stupidest question ya'll will ever hear but it's the only way I'm going to learn. When I am out with my hens one of them will squawk a high pitch noise does this mean anything??? LOL told you it was stupid

I know exactly what you are talking about. I got my chicks in June and waited nearly 6 months until my first egg was laid. Two weeks before Christmas I kept rushing out to the coop because I knew my gals were getting near egg laying age. I got so use to not seeing eggs in the nesting boxes that I didn't even notice the little brown suprise one of my girls left me. I fed the chickens and started to do my routine morning clean up when, to my suprise... I SAW AN EGG!!! It's odd, because I never get excited about much of anything, but yet, that one egg filled me with so much joy I could hardly stand it. lol


I never thought I'd have so much fun raising chickens. I'm glad you are having fun too.
