Ohhhhhhh, I am gonna have to make my way over there to some auctions! I absolutely LOVE auctions! I am a bit of a hatching addict. I have a Sportsman, that I just can't seem to unplug, and I have 5 table top bators that I use as hatchers. I have way too many chicks hatched this past month already. This addiction may become problematic, unless I start downsizing some more, very soon!

TSC Only carries LG incubators, and you sure don't want one of those at any $$, you couldn't give one to me for free.

We are the Consumate Enablers here LOL, and Marybeth well she is like the best of all of us when it comes to encouraging the addiction.

Good morning Al!!! I went out this morning in my shorts t shirt and mu crocks to unload a sack of feed a buddy brought by for four pigs I have for him, it is not too bad out really, the wind is down here and we have some snow left on the ground but a lot has melted off, got to use the hoses to water with yesterday!!! I think I am going to work towards a huge barn in the near future for my chickens and rabbits, equipped with water and lights to each pen, this is three winters and one really hot summer I have gone through here on this place and I just am not happy with my set up!!! I have lots of salvage materials to build with, now just need time anweather cooperation to get something built, I think the wife will appreciate a barn also!!!
Al I have a question on the 1202 sportsman incubator for you or someone else!!! My Hygromitor has a sock on it and I have it in the tub of water inside the bator, it is reading(if I am reading it right!) at 10-115 % humidity, am I suppose to have that high of humidity? What do I need to do, can I take the sock off the reader rod and get a better reading of the true humidity, it seems to me that with the sock on it in the tub it has to read at least 100% all the time it is wet!!! Thanks for the help all!!!! Lynn

Kathy, can you tell me more about the Icelandics, are they a standard size or bantum, are they a recognized APA breed? Do they come in different color varieties? How long have you raised chickens if you don't mind my asking? Lynn
