and it does sound like you are already sucked in before you mentioned it to us. You think we would try and discourage you?
BTW, I am in the process of getting my bator ready for my first set of eggs. I am actually going to have a couple of bators going so that I can alternate hatches this winter and don't have to wait a full 21 days. This way, I can have batches hatching every 10 days or so.
But, I have the time to play father nature this winter, and I really am looking forward to seeing the different varieties that I can hatch out. I can't wait to get started.
I was up most of the night last night cause my back was hurting pretty bad, which got my blood pressure pumping much higher than it should have been, so I spent most of the night on this site doing my research and calmed right now.
I think BYC's actually saved my life last night! How much better can ya get than that?
