Subject: DARN IT, two incubators running!

Well, I wanted to test my own chickens' eggs, so I plugged in just the small hovabator....about 80% of the button eggs weren't fertile, which is ok since half were too old and I can wait until I expand the aviaries before expanding the button flock.....but I wanted to test my Buff Silkies, the Seramas, and my Blue Jersey Giants....all looks good on those.
So then.....I couldn't resist, got back on EggBid and now have the SECOND hovabator plugged in. With only the chicken eggs racks on the turner, the max capacity (if I want all turned automatically) is 42 chicken eggs.....it's FULL! YIKES, what am I thinking? I just got all the breeds separated and now I'm hatching two more different breeds and bid on a third and have my eyes on two more....what the heck, I guess I am a real HatchAHolic!!!
Now I have to set out to find more dog runs that people are giving away and/or selling cheap.....then I can chicken wire the top, put shade cloth and have another pen for another breed! It's the never ending bird breeding saga over here :)
