I am going to count myself in. My DH agreed that I can get a Reptipro incubator with the tax return money. I have used hand built ones before but I am working a job that has a lot of overtime and don't have time to even rock a cradle by hand. So I want one that can be completely programmed with turning times and even cooling cycles.I am not sure what I am going to hatch at the moment. I have my two Olive Egger hens and a Sapphire in with my Silver Penciled Wyandotte Bantam roo I am not sure that I want to hatch those crosses.I have a choice of close neighbors to get some Swedish Flower hens and maybe some Ameracanas that I could make Ameriflowers. I am thinking on that. I can have a total of 12 chickens so it is whether I want to concentrate upon one breed with one roo and 11 hens or 2 breeds and 2 roos and 10 hens. In the past I have been taken with Colloncas and the Blue Egg Sumatras (not a cross with Ameraucans but an import from the 1950's by Georgia Univ. They don't exist in Sumatra any more from what I understand but one of the members here has the flock that used to belong to the Univ. He mostly has bantams but this is one of the full sizes he has. Brain is failing on what his BYC name is. Look in the For Sale section. He has the eggs listed but the shortened title only mentions Bantams. It is only until you open it that you see he has the Blue Egg Sumatras. 

A new incubator!
As much as I love incubating and hatching having an incubator that does it all for you sure does take a lot of worry out of it. Before I got my Brinsea my life was planned around turning the eggs and checking humidity. "Oh I can't go out for that long, I need to turn the eggs" "I need to get home, I need to check the humidity"
Good luck with your choice of eggs to set

I'll be joining in!
Will be setting Naked Necks and white Jersey Giants. 15-20 of each depending on how many I can fit in.

COUNT ME IN!!! I'll be setting as many BBS Ameraucana, BW/W Ameraucana, BLR Wyandotte, and EE eggs as I can!! Hopefully I'll have a full bator! My first chick from my first hatch is 6 days old today, and she's given me hatching fever!! I'll probably be doing a couple hatches between now and then, too! I have soooo many people wanting chicks, though, so at least I have a good excuse

Sounds like fun, I want to do a large hatch anyways
