LOL! I've been out adding insulation - actually dropping a ceiling using the 2" R-19 foam insulation. It stayed above freezing in there with the one lamp in the brooder, and that was the temp on the floor.
We just got the heat-cable applied to half of the watering system. I'll have to document the rest of it when hubby does the other half. (He's on his way home with a bear...
Quail_Antwerp has not even got her bator yet and she told me last night that she is already wanting another bator! I mean I think she should get at least one more too! I mean she needs a hatcher right? I started out with one then I went to 3 real quick. I am selling Quail_Antwerp one of them BUT my other one is on the way as I type!!!!
You should always have two bators. What if one breaks? You always need a backup.
That's only the first reason for a second bator. I can come up with at least 41 more.
Plus it sounds good in court.
Judge: "So you want a divorce because you wife hatched too many eggs"
Hubby: "Yes your honor"
Judge: "I award the house and all the marital assets to the wife. The hubby gets
the bators"
my husband totally nixed the idea of a second 'bator, even to the point of saying we can build a homemade hatcher....*grumbles* man must be smarter than I first thought...
I promised my DH that I wouldn't get a bator till the spring. But reading all these posts...(especially the one from 77horse) I don't think I can wait... I was a normal person 3 months ago...but now these chickens, they've taken over my mind. LOL!!
Want a rcom 20 bator, but don't want to pay for it
so I've been thinking about the genesis 1588. Will this be good for a newbie??
