An old incubator? What kind? Is it something I would be interested in or should I stick to getting the Brinsea Octo 20 Adv?

I guess I should point out that I need fool proof incubator...not something I have to babysit as I am too much a newbie.

edited: cuz I wanted ta'

Go with the Brinsea. This is an OLD, OLD incubator...foam, still air, no turner...VERY basic. It's a round Hovabator. I think it works but I'll have to check before I bring it. My MIL gave it to me because she was going to throw it away. I am saving up for a cabinet 'bator now though...

She has a link to his FB page just a couple posts back from this one....wow...hot.

Anyway, to another subject. Do you work today? I have the morning off and I am going to Valley Lumbar to look at counter top material. Will you be at work that I can pick up the netting from you? What time do you (if you are today) going to be at work. I have to to back around noon.

No, I am back to having Mondays off...so I'm not going to town today at all.

Bummer, okay. I will work on getting DH to come an meet you to get it from you.

I'll be at work tomorrow in the afternoon (I have a dr appt at 10am) so I'll be in after lunch--and I'll be at work the rest of the week.

I was thinking this too. It sounds, like though, that he has spent a lot of time perfecting his flock and I would be so intimidated since all I want are some pretty and friendly birds. What would he think if I am not showing?

RFF: Would he have some that are not as high a show quality? I would actualy love a trio. I would make up a separate pen/coop. I don't know why, I was really were taken with those that CR had shown on here.

I would imagine that the guy wants to pass on his major breeding stock to someone that is going to further his work. Who knows in a few years, when kids are out of the house, I may have time to start showing (used to show rabbits as a kid)...I wouldn't mind doing at all. Would be fun. But if he would be interested to talk, I would love to talk to him/her.

Ooh, those are lovely fluff balls. Now how can anyone pluck those feathers and freezer camp them.

I already asked about the trio but he has 10 hens and two roosters...so the most he'd be willing to split would be 5 hens with 1 roo and he wants $200.00 for all.

I will have some LF rosecomb RIR this spring I'm getting eggs from Dick Horstman. Even with that stock, I am sure I will have culls...or at least extras, as I only have room for about 5 and I'm setting a dozen eggs.
