Oh but you have such a wonderful life coaxing little feathered velociraptors to hatch. lolmy husband told me I spend too much time turning eggs.. i tried to argue the point.. so he "did the math"...
right now I hand turn eggs for 2 hours every day.. he decided to go conservative and base it on a lot less than that to make up for days when I was a kid and in school (but still turning eggs before and after school).. or the two weeks every so often that I take off from hatching... and then again there are the months that I hatch a whole lot more and spend way more than two hours turning eggs every day... anyway.. he came up with this...
almost 2.5 years of my life has been spent just turning eggs....
I really hope his math is wrong.. cause that's just depressing....
it makes me wonder what the actual amount would be since he based it on so much less...
and that's not including the hours spent tending to brooders.. cleaning coops.. feeding birds......
dayum.. I need a life
IT's way better than commuting to work 2 hours a day.
Beautiful. BUt I do see room for a few more. lol It should work, just keep moving the locations top to bottom every couple of days. ANd at that time place eggs back in carton carefully, then put back in reverse order been there done that in my homemade one. PS--there is only 4 doz in the top pic, how did the multiply for the lower pic??I just set my eggs. took forever because I had to rearrange all the eggs in my bator. I took the auto turner out, marked all the eggs a certain color according to what eggs are due to hatch what day(I stagger hatches) mared an X and an O on each egg and then played egg tetris lol.
I set 24 BR turkey eggs and 24 chicken eggs(they are a week early I know).
I now have a total of 76 eggs in a bator meant for 42I have never done that before. Im REALLY nervous about this.
these are the eggs I set for this hatch
and this is my incubator fully loaded
