As I was getting ready for Christmas, I was moving boxes around to pull out the Christmas lights etc, as I moved the box that holds my incubator, it was empty! I realized I must have left it in the guest room closet since last spring. I went in and found it sitting on a shelf, all cleaned up and ready to go, hmmm

no no lol, chicks would be a pain now.... hmmmm

they would be ready to lay by spring if hatched now. Wait what am I thinking

I would have to keep them in the house until April and that is crazy, but they are really small and I could just do a small hatch hmmmm

. I better put that stupid thing away before I do something crazy . :smiley-char026: :smiley-char026: :smiley-char026: :smiley-char026:
Now I understand the phrase, "the incubator made me do it" like a scene from a scary movie, it silently calls to me, making me bend to its will! Lol

Just a heads up, with the polar vortex at play, you may be keeping them in the house until July, you may want to reconsider
