Look at all those eggs! I hope the all hatch for you!

Does anyone else have issues with collecting eggs and putting them in the fridge? I look at them and say these could be some cute little chicks! Then I tell myself, those cute little chicks grow up and I am maxed out with space!

I wish! You don't know how lucky you are to be able, from the sounds of it, to have a rooster or two. I can't have roosters.

Is it possible to put duck eggs in with chicken/turkey eggs, or is that just asking for a poor hatch rate? I'm dying to set duck eggs. THe one incubator and one hatcher I should be grateful for but dang I need another just for the duck eggs.

edited for mispell. sorry.

Quote: I'm sorry you can't have roosters. THey can be noisy, especially at , actually make that, especailly BEFORE dawn crowing. A friend suggested keeping the boys in the coop to muffle the noise until let out time. THough I still find that noisy with the coop about 20 feet away from my bedroom window. You may not get fertile eggs but you don't have the incessent crowing either.
