This is my first staggered hatch and I was too dang busy to,get my other bator set up,for a hatcher before the Easter hatch.... I'm kind of regretting it now. All stressed about the chick that hatched yesterday getting in trouble in there.... I WILL get it set up before the next batch is due to hatch!

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!

I have a home made cabinet incubator that holds 5 turners (I think that is 205 eggs). This time of year I replace one turner with a hatching tray that holds goose eggs and I hand turn them. I add eggs every Sunday for staggered hatches. I have a smallish wine cooler (the size of a apt fridge) for my hatcher. It has 3 rubbermaid containers to hatch in. Each Friday eggs go into the hatcher and come out on the weekend as babies. Then on Sunday I add more eggs to the bator. Works very well for me.
That is a great deal for a lg bator!
Does anyone have babies hatching for Easter? I have goslings and chicks set to hatch in the bator and goslings under a goose as well!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!!

That stinks! Can anyone run to TSC for you? A friend or neighbor or chicken friend? Sounds like you really need one!
