I really probably do need to get into selling some eggs. I think my days of hatching 1,000+ chicks a season is coming to an end. But oh was it fun.
Someone mentioned us "hatchaholics". Ya hatching is fun and ya chicks are pretty awesome. For me it was mostly about the projects. Kind of like every hatch was like Christmas morning. A bit like Mrs Gump would say "you never know what you're gonna get".
Sure I knew what to expect but with projects most of the time you're playing the odds. That new variety would have a 1 of 4, 1 of 8, or 1 of 16 chance of becoming reality.
I never thought I had ADHD. More like too smart for my own good and my brain just did well with chicken genetics. I could see possibilities and I could understand how to get there. Of course breeding generation after generation and putting chicks in the brooder went a lot slower IRL then in by 100 mph brain. That's probably why I've always worked on several projects at the same time.
When hatch day came it was pretty exciting to pull checks from the Hatcher and see if you accomplished anything. I never wanted to sell eggs or sell chicks or make money. I just wanted to create. The whole process. Having an idea making the plan and then seeing it being accomplished. Watching it grow and knowing... I did that.
Pure selfish reasons. So ya to switch gears into I'm going to sell eggs. Recouping some expenses would be a good thing. Note... Recouping, NOT making money.
So what's the point? Just a ramble, some insight. An idea of where I'm coming from and contemplating where I may be going. A topic for conversation because it would be a whole new world that I know nothing about but probably should learn.
 
skip the eggs, skip the breeding projects and go to the future for perfect chickens? No? You incubator junkies be like:

Hmm that is an interesting thought. I could save myself several years of breeding just by bringing already perfected future chickens back with me.

I bet they have the microwave incubator invented in the future too. I'm gonna need to install a tow hitch on the DeLorean and rent a U-Haul trailer. šŸ¤”
