Hello. My name is Deanna. I am a chick-a-holic. Here is the story of my addiction.
One day I decided I wanted one chick to have as a house chicken. But had to buy 6 minimum. Since I had to build a coop for 6, I built it big enough for more, just in case. I went to buy 2 more chicks, ended up with 8 more. While researching how to care for chickens, I found this thread (June actually). It was so addicting. I read about people building their own incubators. So I had to see if I could do it. It holds 18 eggs. During the 3 weeks they were incubating, I kept up with this thread and read about all of the different kinds of chickens. I thought I would pick the one best kind, order a dozen for the incubator after the first ones hatched but the eggs took too long and I had to quickly buy another incubator for the eggs that came in the mail. Now I had all of this extra room in there, it held 5 dozen. Ordered more eggs but the store incubator didn't work so well. I built a better larger one. It was so easy, I built another. And so goes my spiral down into the depths of uncontrollable hatching. Chicks taking over my house. Soon I will be sleeping on the porch. It's all so terri.... Another chick hatched! Got to go!
