I have an incubator, that has 6 eggs in it, but thought I would give Bonny a chance to prove her stuff since she's a buff Or Ping Ton.

The Breeder I was working with bought a Dickey incubator!

My buff O's would do that if I left too many eggs in a nest. Now my Amish crosses will plop down on eggs if I leave three or four eggs in a nest box for any length of time.

@sourland I didn't have a good night either. The almost full moon made the dogs restless. They were barking and howling all night and the amusement factor at 4 AM is non existent. Plus the back porch motion detector lights kept popping off and on. Mice? Voles? Raccoons? Who knows?

I don't eat a lot of cereal for breakfast other than oatmeal but I do enjoy a bowl of raisin bran for lunch without the raisins. (I am pretty much omnivorous and there are few foods I can't stand to eat but I can't stand raisins in my cereal or cookies. I can eat them out of the container like candy but please leave them out of my food. There is just something about eating something crunchy and then biting into something soft that makes me think I'm eating a bug! ) But I do love cereal with diced peaches or apple in it. I know I know. It makes no sense but I am what I am.

I wanna see a picture of the 'amish crosses' pleaseeeeeeeeeee. And what breeds in particular make up that cross, if you know.

HEY! I beat Sourland this morning!

That is impressive especially since you are an hour west of him.

Um, wouldn't it just be easier to buy a box of bran flakes?

hmmmmmmmm, just had a brainy idea come to mind... Making a tractor out of a cattle panel and 2 x 4's shouldn't be all that hard.. .I even have wheels I could put on it. Ha.. then cover with chicken wire and I have it made in the shade.. I used cattle panels for the hoop coops, but who says I need to bend them end to end instead of side to side?

Chicken tractors are a good choice!

I'm working on getting enough laying hens I can sell eggs right from home. That will ease some of the burden.

I would rather sell hatching eggs. That way I get more for one egg than I would for a dozen eating eggs.

Butt butt, yours are all purebreds. Mines not.

Does not stop one from selling the eggs just be honest about what your selling..
Watched a video of the Dicky cabinet bators nicely made units ..

Well, that can change.
