<chuckle> Well, the instant gratification sounds good, but I'm in no big hurry...I think gettin' there is part of the fun, too.

But, logistically, getting chicks might be more appropriate for now. Thanks for the vote for the chicks!

Howdy. Thanks for the encouragement on incubating. I haven't decided yet which way to go....chicks or eggs. I'm probably overthinking everything as usual.

On incubating I've been eyeballing the 1588 and the turner. I've also looked at some of the homebrew incubators and wouldn't mind trying my hand at building one but will wait till later on to give that a shot. If the electronic thermostat wasn't so expensive I think I'd go ahead and give it a try. I've even searched the net for a circuit plan to build a precision thermostat...but have found little that's within my ability. If nothing else, maybe I could put together a hatcher to help keep the incubator clean. I'm a ham radio operator and like to tinker anyhow.
