My brooders are actually wooden. That was an emergency one. We lost power so the chicks had to go outside where it was warm enough for themLove the plastic bin --> easy clean!

I'm SOOO glad to hear from a kindred spirit.There are several people on here who sell chicks as a side hustle. Some even have a wait list to hatch specific eggs for other people. Helps the birds pay their keep.
Personally I just give away extra birds: chicks, grow outs, adults. I'm a terrible salesman. Not worth the hassle for me.
We also grow out and process (butcher) our own roosters but never more than 10 roos at a time. That last one depends on time of year and how many birds I have (how overwhelmed I feel).
Yep once you have 1 incubator you definitely need another ..... then 1 to use as a hatcher.... then maybe another to hatch pheasants and ducks inOmg!!!!
You sound exactly like me.There are several people on here who sell chicks as a side hustle. Some even have a wait list to hatch specific eggs for other people. Helps the birds pay their keep.

I keep it easy and just accept that I will hatch every yearYou sound exactly like me.
Every year, I swear I will not hatch and every winter/spring my incubators are full.
You disappoint me.I have just stopped hatching for the first time in 18 months........... yes 18 months..... lol
If only you would sell hatching eggs Moony!You disappoint me.
Then what would I hatch?If only you would sell hatching eggs Moony!
I would only order 100 eggs at a time.... surely you would have a few leftoverThen what would I hatch?
I was so excited (EGG-cited) my first few eggs after our chickens laid... had no idea an incubator was my present for Christmas. After my first few hatches I wish it was 10x's bigger and had a few more just to hatch stuff. LolI'm SOOO glad to hear from a kindred spirit.
