Renting out space in incubator.

[Chicksahoyfarm]

I was wondering if anyone rents out space in the incubator to hatch for other people. I'd be charging them something to do it but not sure yet. I wouldn't be concerned about cross contamination as their eggs would be the only ones in my incubator and I would sterilize the crap out of it for the next batch.

I would hold the chicks for a day or two to make sure they are good to travel and I would have a contract for the customer to sign that hatching rate isn't a sure thing and don't have control of whether their eggs were fertile in the first place. Does this sound like a feasible thing to do? Thanks ahead of time for any answers.

I've heard of people doing it. Since you can't control fertility or anything other than incubation, they usually charge by the egg for incubation and let the chips fall where they may. I think I heard of someone that charged 1 per egg. But I'm sure you can get creative with charges.

Surely with how cheap incubators are there wouldn't be much demand for this. And isnt that the best part of it, watching them hatch

Or build and they will come ..... Maybe

I was thinking about doing $1 per egg the. $0.25 to pay for the feed for them for their one day stay.

I think I heard about so much per egg (say $1) and then so much per chick, perhaps 0.25.

It cost £1 an egg in UK

Okay so I seem to have the right base price now to forgive out how to do the contract.
