For those of you who like crested birds, I present one of my Swedish Flower Hens, crested variety. About the weeks old, or is it four?

I never met a junk pile I didn't enjoy! Always something can be salvaged or repurposed.

My newest little guy,

White crested blue or black?

ancona duck eggs!!! 17 and shipped! NO ROLLING or LOOSE AIR CELLS!! 17 of them!!

I love SAS!
So I set them tonight along with some P/brahma and a ton of silkies for sara!
oh and there are 4 turkey and some eggs from Chooks in there too!
Who said the hatchalong is over?

CHAD I think I need one of those GIGUMBO styro coolers from the hospital at this point! this one isn't cutting it anymore.

I have some yet I believe

Here is the evidence as promised!

Priceless

gotta go read,,,,86 post since I went for a nap and to work last night.......yepp.......Sally's back...

Yep my thoughts exactly lol

Sally, I shouldn't encouraged you, but this mini fridge or mini freezer uses the same parts as a cooler Bator. I use three turners, but could build racks on pivots with a hand Turner device amd easily fit more eggs. 10 dozen is enough ( too many). Water bottles in bottom to help stabilize temp, fan in top pointed up spaced with wine corks.
The fridge was free. It had been through a flood and ruined. Door has large double pane plexiglass window from an old piece I found laying around.

That's not an enabler if I ever saw one

OMG! I am sooo glad my Delaware finally figured out that Duck is not the same as he is.

Yesterday morning I turned on the faucet outside (yeay!) and washed all the gross things that I refused to bring into my house over the winter (yeay!). I filled the big waterer without having to fight with filling a bucket inside, and hauling to the coop (yeay!). I shot cat poop across the yard (giggle) and off the sidewalk. I washed the car, and got the gravel out of the driveway (Gravel is dangerous to bikers!! YEAY!!!). Then my husband came home, and on our way to Altoona drool Outback! Yeay!) he asked, "Would you be interested in an incubator?" Apparently the woman had used it once, fried her duck eggs, and put it in the closet. If he gets it, I will DEFINITELY be here asking a million questions (I think I know what I am doing, but the first time is gonna be scary! ). So, I had an awesome day yesterday (oh, and I bought a fishing net)!!

Sounds awesome!

The pond is nice, but it is a ton of work, which you wouldn't expect. I will take a few photos of the fish later today as they will be up feeding on the surface bugs. Most of the Koi are 20-25 years old. EDIT: And a pond is a geese magnet and just 2 geese can turn 2.5 acres into a poopy mess in a short period of time. My Aussie chases the geese, but somehow he recognizes that the chickens don't need to be chased. Animals are smarter than we think.

20 year old fish? Wow!

So....if I come up with the parts...you'll build it for me?

SO>>>>>the regular size fridge that got dumped out behind the barn could be made into an awesome incubator...... The wheels are a turning....

Do you have any idea how many chicks you'd wind up with????? So much for downsizing!

must be nice to be mechanical, thank goodmess husband is or i would be in deep water

Neither DH or I are....hence taking things ALOT slower than I'd necessarily like...

If I can find the time, I would be willing to build one if.

-Someone provides the parts
-Someone takes pictures and writes a tutorial and posts it on BYC
-They keep it and don't blame me for too many chicks/poults/emu/ostrich/dinosaur/ or whatever may hatch
-we all have fun doing it!
