I'd like to go to go, the info about poultry diseases is info I could use. But it depends on if the hubby, kids, and parents have plans or need me for something.

Just thought I'd share a wonderful use to help with 'extra eggs'
Homemade ice cream! I'm sure a lot of you already know this but I've always been on the receiving end of the ice cream machine and just started researching recipes. I've seen a few recipes that call for eggs. Usually for 4 quarts, you'll use 4 eggs. I doubled the eggs and used just yolks, a couple of my eggs were also small. It takes a little bit of preplanning and a little bit of cooking time, but its super simple. The custard needs to cool before you use it (at least a couple of hours or overnight) and cooking/prep time for the custard is about 15 minutes.
Here's a recipe for Cinnamon Ice Cream, if you've never had cinnamon ice cream, you owe it to yourself to try!
Here's a recipe for Peach Ice Cream, the instructions don't call for cooking the egg mixture, I personally would follow the directions to the Cinnamon Ice Cream custard mixture and use it for the peach.
I personally think that you can make any of your favorite non-egg ice cream recipes with the egg base. You can also substitute 1% milk for whole milk, whole milk for half/half, and evaporated skim milk for whipping cream (per my sunbeam ice cream maker instructions, it might change the texture some) so you don't feel guilty for making lots of ice cream to use up extra eggs!
Now go buy more chickens so you can have lots of ice cream!!!

I LOVE the automatic turner for my incubator. I'm not having good luck with my hatches (I think its a humidity issue, I tried a dry hatch with my first group and apparently the climate I'm in is NOT ok for that.). If this hatch is a bust, I'm getting a different incubator BUT the best thing about it has been the turner. I don't have to open the incubator to turn eggs, I know they are being turned when they need to, I don't have to commit to turning them 3 times a day for 18 days. I can store eggs on the turner and not have to worry about them while waiting to incubate.
I don't know anything about the incubators you are asking about so I'm no help there but I 100% would not get an incubator without a turner, or at least the option of a turner for after the honeymoon period of incubating has passed.
Our first egg!
Well, I ordered the Havobator without the turner for $48 on EBay. I have the option of getting turners for it later if I want to try them for myself. But at least now I will have a Bator for hatching eggs I plan on ordering next year. Top of my list are white African eggs, Cayuga duck eggs, and pied Chinese eggs. I have sources already committed for the African and Chinese eggs, now to fine a source for Cayuga eggs and I am set! Whoot!
Congrats!Our first egg!
My sister stopped by, giving us updates on Henry. He will move in to his new home next weekend.
She also told me that both of the geese she got from me are female, and that Howard the duck keeps chasing the geese around trying to breed them! We knew Howard was a frisky fowl, but this is rediculous. Very glad he got re-homed or he and my gander Snow would be fighting over the ladies.
Anyone for deese or gucks? Lol. There is a thread about a guy whose duck fertialized a goose's egg and it's actually growing in the Bator now! Kinda freaky in my opinion, but I wouldn't allow the geese and ducks to interbreed at my place anyway.

Did he get a new one built? I missed some of the scoop I think
