language like that could get you an infraction

  Trust me you won't stop with just these.

lol! You're not kidding! After these are old enough to put in the coop, I'm getting another dozen or so babies! The roommates and the BF are both cool with it all! Everyone is helping to build the coop too!

why wait till they are big enough.

start incubating 18 days before they will go out.

you wont want an empy brooder sitting around for long.

Found a pecked chick in the brooders at my favorite feed store yesterday. They are very attentive but had been very busy. She is an Ideal 236. Ideal hatchery version of Leghorn cross super white egg layer. I took her to the front and got asked to take her. They really don't have the means to treat and separate her. Soooo now I have a very LOUD single chick that doesn't really fit my program. I have 5 wk old barnevelders in the outside baby pen and marans hatching in 4 days. It will have to work itself out because this old softly will keep her.

I tried this yesterday, thought she was doing well, and this morning was gone when I got back from church. Good luck with yours! If she is loud, she must be feeling pretty good.

That is awesome. For me and DH is a joint venture.

oz, should I retract my statement? Ok, you did not hear it from me that I cut a hole in my contraption. Must have been an imposter that posted that. Light did get through though.

At least I didn't say that someone plugged the hole in my contraption.

That would be great! Unfortunately we don't have an incubator since it was apparently broken and thrown away. My BF said he'd help me save up for a nice one that turns them automatically since we both work. But I'll just get more chicks from Wisher then!
