Gator, I hope and wish that everything goes well.

Hey! it might not be long before she gets "her incubator" going!

Then as the saying goes "the big hawk lites".

OMG grandkids and let me tell you I know! I have triplet grandsons that live with me all the time.

They are one reason I've been hatching!

However, I'm still on the wagon!

You could still do hatching for other people which could be a good thing.

Good Luck...

Yeah..I thought about advertising on Craigslist that I would incubate for people. Heck, I'll do it for free...just to be able to "get high"!!

Thanks, Egg...I'll keep you posted.

Yes you could pre sale them too. Money up front and straight run. This is what most hatcheries do, but they wont tell you! They say they are booked up. Now this would make one "fine tune" their incubation skills.

I think hatching for others is a fantastic idea and a wonderful way to stay involved. That would give others the chance to take advantage of your expertise and get some great birds, too. Consider it!!!!!

I am very interested in the cochin's. How far are you from Panama City? HOw much are you asking for them?



Edited to add: I would also be interested in the eggs.........

Barnyard...I have friends in Panama City and they say it takes them about 3 1/2 hours to get here. Mapquest says about 4 hours. You lose an hour timezone-wise. I'll take some photos and post them in the Chickens for Sale Index. They are looking like teenagers now, but are going to be gorgeous birds. I just checked my hatching log and they hatched on July 4 so they are 19 days old today. Here are some photos of them that I took today:

Here is a link to my Picasa Web Album containing pics of the lemon-blue and gold-laced standard cochin babies. They are 19 days old today...just about the worst stage of their lives...but they are going to be typey, gorgeous cochins in a few months.

First of all let me say that I really feel for ya! I almost considered doing the same thing. (Was planning on moving to a small neighborhood.) But changed my mind. I can't let go of them! SO, If you have plans to find homes for those little fuzzies let me know. I can come pick them up. I live only 45 mins or so from you in Trenton.

Speaking of which, I already have an ad telling people I am willing to incubate for 1/3 the offspring! I got a few calls but nothing solid.
