Sorry to hear about one of your Polish from Gretchen, Bloomin. Her birds are awesome! We have about 15 Polish, 3 BLRW's, and a flock of Mille Fleur d'Uccles from her. You got the buff laced from her? They are honestly the most gorgeous. Did you get smooth or frizzle?
We have a "Bob-o-bator" as our incubator. It is a used Pepsi cooler, with the glass front door. It had 4 shelves (but could hold more). Hubby and I found it for $25, added the heating elements and outlets for the turners and we can incubate over 200 eggs for less that $50 in the 'bator. We bought one egg turner new and one used off of Craiglist. So, all in all, we have less than $100 in it and the only other expense we will have is buying more turners if we want to do more eggs.
