Any of you still using your incubator???

I am and am expecting chicks this weekend. I do not normally do it this time of year but had to due to special orders from people. Thank god that will be the end of it.
But I do know of some folk that incubate all year round.!!!! Sandy

hi sandy, i hatch all year round, just because it's a question of supply and demand.

why not!
good luck to you.

Well I have some Quail chicks that have just hatched. Sadly can't hatch chickens now but when we could we did not hatch this late. Nice to try it now.

How did your hatch go Sandy?

wow sandy still hatching!? i thought orps were like brahmas in that they stopped growing in the witer so they never grow t there full size?

Have started back hatching, have 3 chicks in brooder and about 30 eggs in incubator. Was going to be good and wait till spring but couldn't resist all those lovely eggs wasting away!

yep, you are not alone, I have some hatching this weekend and another lot next weekend and have about 30 eggs to put into the incubator. Can't eat chocolate orpington eggs. The last hatch went well. But our chicks do have extra lights on as if it is summer time, this way the eat most of the time and the lights are on a time machine, they come on at 3 and go off at 10 pm. This will give them maximum light as if it was summer.
