Has covid raised the price of the normally cheap Chinese incubators?

Yep, was planning on buying in Feb but got sidetracked. Now, prices are silly high for the same products.

Might as well buy a Brinsea for a couple quid more than what people are charging for it to be honest.

Got my hopes up today thinking I'd found a buyer for some chicks but then I'm guessing it'll be a similar scam to where they send a courier and claim it got lost in transit.

I should have put my answers in, I asked if he wanted them dropped off or if he's picking them up and he's replied pick up. He's not paid, he's offered 3x what I wanted and the stuff about the RSPCA just seems a bit... Off.

so a time-waster then? I still don't understand how this could be a scam.

Hi everyone. I am based in Co Down Northern Ireland. I presently have a silkie roo, and 10 pure breed hens and one hybrid who is seven years old now. From lunchtime time today we have just had two golden Rock Plymouths hatch and hopefully in the next two day we will have a further six lavender araucana’s hatch.

hello @Doctordee - congrats on the hatch! I hope it continues successfully

Hello from Herne Bay, Kent. I have returned to keeping chickens after a break of about 8 years. Have really missed having them. Currently have only 2 chicks, one is a 5 week old Bluebelle and one I hatched that is a 4 week old unknown! Was meant to be an ISA Warren but I'm sure I have been sent the wrong hatching egg!!!

hello @Napattack - welcome to BYC
perhaps you could post of photo of the mystery chick when it's got its feathers, and we can try to work out what it is...?

 

[Napattack]

Hello again. Sure can. I have posted a pic elsewhere on the site but have only had it confirmed that he's a roo .
