I bought an inexpensive incubator and only hatched eggs the first time this year so I’m definitely no expert. I did a dry hatch and sprayed the eggs with hydrogen peroxide a week before hatching and had all fertile eggs hatch. Only 1 hatchling died.

Truly amazing! That’s inspiration for us all.

That’s awesome Grumpy! I’m so excited to be a part of this group and hopefully be a help to someone. My only handicap is I have several young children in tow and it sometimes slows me down. I’m an introvert by nature but I’m trying to reach out more because we can’t do this alone. Thanks to everyone! This gives me hope for those of us on the same page.

Deb, reading your reply gave me an idea. We all have projects we need to complete and some of us don’t have the stature or stamina as others. Perhaps we as a community should consider “an old fashioned barn raising” so to speak. We are in dire need of helping each other help ourselves from the coming “moronaclypse”.

Wow! I’ve just been catching up on all the posts. I’m am NOT alone! Maybe someday I will feel comfortable to share my own journey. I just wanted to address something another person suggested and see what kind of response I might get. Pint size you mentioned not being able to process your roosters. Personally I’ve never done it either but have watched videos on how. Someone else mentioned an idea of a mobile chicken butcher. Where you could perhaps travel and do it on site. My husband used to be a meat cutter by trade and I only helped with the after the skinning process. I could never physically do this with a large animal but wondering if there is a need out there for smaller scale butchering and would it be profitable (bartering included). Maybe I just discovered a useful trade I could use on my own small homestead. I’m not sure of the legalities. I know my daughter pays top dollar for such items at a farmer’s market.
