who likes to hatch eggs

[Mrs MIA]

Addicted? No, I can quit any time I want to. I just choose not to.

I just completed my 4th hatch yesterday and I am cleaning up the bator now for the next one. I only do chickens so far. But when my DH gets the motorcycle out of the living room I'm setting up my new (used) bator that holds over 800 eggs.

I don't think she could miss this one unless she never comes in the barn. LOL

yea she goes out some times to count chickens! i guess to make sure no more has appeared. some times chickens just appear here

i just tell her i have no idea how they got here

and hope she doesn't lock me out!

MY first attempt was not successful out of 7 red golden pheasant eggs I did not have any to hatch, (homemade incubator in my room in the summer= west end of the trailor) 1 developed but did not make it! Then I waited and my BILIL Gave me a incubator and so I wanted to hatch to see if I could, momma said ok set 9RIR that the hens had been giving dewormer med so we could not eat them, they did not hatch and with them I set a dozen of cochins and RIR from a friend for $1.50 and hatched 8 = 7 cochins and RIR (Buff) two died to leave me with 6 they hatched 10/22 and now I have 9 ringneck pheasant eggs and 18 from the same friend $2.00 I am on day 6 i think and won 10 + quail eggs from ebay and they are on their way and I will add them to the batch.
SO NO I AM NOT ADDICTED!!
I will set RED/YELLOW Golden Pheasants as soon as she lays and I plan on swapping my BILIL for Red Golden pheasant and then my cousin has yellow golden pheasants that I want to hatch some of them!!
