[CHICKENS-101] Buying chicks vs. buying an incubator

 

This year I bought 27 very healthy chicks at the cost of around $75 (with S&H) from McMurray.  I am pleased as punch with my birds, but I'd really love to hatch my own.  Relying on broody birds is iffy.  (BTW - for those who've read about Broody Lilly - she is still sitting on 3 large eggs in her cage and is due to hatch in a week!)  So - I am trying to justify the cost of the Hovabator Genesis 1588 with egg turner to keep fresh birds in my flock.  I will order it from Cutler Supply as they are by far the best pricing, but its the justification of spending $160 on chickens.  I can use both eggs from my birds and someone local sells hatching eggs as well.
