Good morning, all!

I set another 31 eggs yesterday, the Brinseas are both full, the waiting lists are growing and the girls are still laying!!! Oh, and I believe that my project rooster may finally be accomplishing his duties!!!

SO.......

Materials are all collected.

Making a coolerbator today. I may be checking back for advice as I go along.

If all goes well with that one, I will start gathering materials for this one

Check craigslist. You never know, someone may have an old, non-working one for cheap or even free if you haul it away. Some people just don't know the potential of their junk!

Yesterday I Set a few (7) of my GCM eggs, and one from an EE that he has been covering. That should have them hatching on the 6th, with no time to spare before setting for the Easter hatch-a-long!

Picked this up back a couple of months ago but haven't had the time or money to start building it yet. Was looking at regular sized fridges and then saw this posted for free. Bakery I got it from was worried I would spend too much trying to fix it because it had been "sitting there broke for at least a decade" I explained I was going to convert it into a incubator and they were lost. Needless to say that pretty much stopped the small talk and it was loaded and I was gone.

Way to go! We can build our big ones together. I am thinking of splitting mine top and bottom, with the incubator on the top and hatcher on the bottom. You could have one side be incubator and the other be a hatcher.

Good morning everyone!!


Does anyone know of any breeders with Silver Ameruacanas that sell hatching eggs? Or even chicks?

I am also on the look out for quality welsummer hatching eggs. I have decent stock that I am breeding towards SOP and I really just need a new bloodline, or just one good rooster.

Fowl Stuff sells silver ameraucana chicks. That's one of my dream breeds/ varieties. I put in an order and should hopefully get my chicks a little later this spring! I'm very excited!

I've been out of town visiting family, but I'm going to get working on my wine fridge incubator project when I get home!
