the Universe is enabling me...

[MetalSmitten]

It's like a higher power just WANTS to give me reasons to go crazy...

I bought some eggs on Ebay about a month ago, left the seller positive feedback and also mentioned that even though only 2 of 16 hatched, it was most likely from post office damage. Then I happily filled my incubator with eggs from my mutt flock.

Two days later, I notice the seller has sent me a message offering to send new eggs since my hatch was so poor, which was awesome and very sweet of them and I couldn't say no.

But I only have ONE incubator. And it's full. And I'm a chicken-pro-lifer I guess, I just can't take out the started eggs and let the tiny baby fetus-chicks die.

So, clearly, the Universe wants me to purchase a second incubator. The Universe is my chicken Enabler. There is no way to deny this.

And that's exactly why I have SIX - count them: 6 - incubators.

And the day I got the new Octagon 20, it was full of eggs and incubating away!

My DH thinks I should sell the Mini Advance..... Can you help me think of a good excuse to keep it?

What if a broody abandons eggs and your incubator is already full...

Or you find an auction of "6+" eggs you absolutely cannot resist?

OR you get too many eggs to fit into an Octagon20??

I really, really, like my MiniAdvance 'bators. Because they're so much smaller, they recover humidity and heat even faster than the Octagon20s. I also like the adjustable day count-down feature, with that auto-turn function which shuts off on the 18th day (or whichever you set it for) without my intervention. I wish the MiniAdvance EX units would do that!

Ahhhh, the Universe is speaking to me now, too! Good idea!

Teehee

That is totally, utterly, and amazingly the best excuse ever come up with in the history of ever ever!

Thats why I now have 1 home made brooder (just made it to brood extra eggs till an incubator opens up),2 home made incubator and a Brower Top Hatch incubator.
