I have staggered hatches running in 3 bators right now. More eggs on the way

Hi Silkie, what are you hatching out? And whats on the way? I wish you lived close because I need to learn how to do this.

Its worth it to have a hatching incubator, wish I could make it to TSC today. I have been doing staggered hatches in 1 incubator with a turner and I have had to help Every single chick out. For every four that develop, I've only been having 2 survive because of shrink wrap. I need a hatcher!

Wait a minute, whats the difference?

Hatchers are another bator to hatch in. I've been using the hatching tray, but will be using the LG now for some of the hatchings. Probably for the small hatches or extra large hatches that won't all fit into the hatching tray, lol.

I also want to apologize if it's taking longer to respond to PM's. Today I'm trying to get a lot done before the weekend... Processing about 50lbs of meat, packing up packages for the post office (which are LATE!!!), getting the house presentable again, laundry, cage building, etc.

Cleaning ???? Laundry??? Who cares about that when chicks are hatching!!

Got your Bunny Box Gable, thank you so much. I was completely out of toothpaste and you saved me a trip to the dollar store. Then my husband started complaining about a rash (hopefully he won't read this and be embarassed), and I handed him that tube of rash ointment.

lol I told you I am not crafty, more thrifty (my kids say I am a cheapskate ).. About the only thing I can craft is leather. My Dad taught me how to make saddles, wallets, etc. That is about as crafty as I get.
You do have easter grass, card and goodies sitting here that you will get soon. I am absent minded alot lately..... My DH even said "This box feels light...are you sure you put everything in it?" *facepalm*


PS...
Betta, I'll ship you some kids to hand out chores too. lol j/k

Oh, let me know how long an area you need to cover and I'll figure out approx how many cuttings you would need. Or, you could get like one or two cuttings from me for like $3.50 shipping and then make your own cuttings in a year or two.

Same goes to you Krafty. If either of you want more than a couple, I would probably ship (this summer) in a regional flat rate box and my zip is 28516, so whatever a regional rate box A would be from me to you.

LOL! Unfortunately, I don't have any chicks hatching until the 7th of April!!! Ah well, that's probably a good thing, because I have to get the cages built to get these fatties out of the little brooder so I have room for hatchlings. I'll have to get something much bigger figured out for hatchlings before this recent set of 75 eggs is due.

That sounds good. Two will be great for now. Let me know when you want the funds and I'll paypal them over to you. :O)
