Thinking about getting an incubator!

I wished I had actually gone with a bigger brinsea than the Oct. 20. You have to figure that half of your hatch could be roos. I wanted about 30 layers (pullets) ... but each time, only got about 11. Then I had all those roos to contend with, lol. A layer roo looks like a road runner, after hes processed, and two need to be used to feed 5 adults.

If you are thinking about getting a Brinsea, they are having a sale until the end of the year. http://www.brinsea.com/buying/holdidaysaleprice2012.htm Also, from their Facebook page: "Here's a couple of Christmas specials. Save an additional 20% off the Octagon 20 or Octagon 40 Advance and Advance EX models with coupon code "christmas". Offer valid until Wednesday. Or you can save an additional 10% off any product with coupon code "merry" until December 31. Merry Christmas everybody!" I have the Octagon 20 Advance EX set-up and just ordered a second one! I highly recommend it! Love their sale codes.
