These little cheap ones just are not going to do it, but the ones I had before are about $600 a piece. As soon as we get the money for the fans they will be installed.<br /><br />Denise, Thanks for the fingers. It does not have a choice but to work out. <br /><br />Izzy, This next batch and the one after that will probably be the same until I can afford the fan conversion for these little incubators. Thanks for the good luck.<br /><br />WWRWH, Faith is what gets me out of bed in the mornings but when you are the only source of income for a now family of six, faith cannot keep my butterflies down. <br />Yes you are right. The $200 is on the low end of just the food. I new it would cost a little extra but I also thought she would be getting a job so she could help out. I am not going to charge her rent, I just want a little food money and gas money for running her around. Her momma does not want to help at all. Maybe I am asking too much. Maybe I should just lay in the bed I made for myself and just except it. ^0^<br /><br />SFG, Taking this new job makes it where I can stay here during the week. I have to much invested in this place now to leave. Even if I were to get transfered out of state, the girls and the wife would stay here until they all finish school. I just do not want disrupt their lives while they are in the last years of High school.<br /><br />Thank yall for all the comments and sorry mine is so late. These long days can work a man to death if he lets it. I think that is why I am playing more on the weekends. I am just tired of working so much right now. It will click and then It will be nothing but blood, sweat and tears. I hope!Modern Day Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682843961510053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-38862920729297413732011-03-17T19:55:52.165-05:002011-03-17T19:55:52.165-05:00I'm glad you found another job.

The new job may be a little farther than you drive now, but it sounds like it's way closer than you WOULD be driving if you had stayed with your current company.<br /><br />I had to chuckle when I read your surprise that an extra mouth costs $200/month. And that's probably only food ...there's extra water and utilities for laundry and showers. Yup, $200/month sounds like a conservative estimate.<br /><br />: )HossBosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444735851486747330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-44116523610253895962011-03-17T12:45:22.599-05:002011-03-17T12:45:22.599-05:00Good luck with the new job!

Also invest in a really good thermometer designed for incubators...it will determine whether you get a decent hatch or not, and make sure the incubator is in a room where the air is pretty constant in temps. I lost dang near one whole hatch becuz I didn't do any of that. Once I got everything lined out I ended with 2 hatches of 75%...not bad for a cheap incubator.coleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10521218854189081976noreply@blogger.com
