I should also say that I am thinking of asking a neighbor for a few eggs
to fill out the incubator. He has more chickens than I do at present.
He may want some chicks as well, but I doubt it..
I'm just trying to think of what to trade for the eggs if he doesn't
want any chicks.

This is round 1 of chicks. I am already collecting eggs for round 2 of incubation, which, if I can get enough eggs, should start next weekend. As long as I have use of the incubator, I'm going to hatch as many as I can. If my girls stop laying, then I am dead in the water. There's an economy of scale here, it makes no sense to run the incubator(and then lights) for a dozen eggs...at least, that is my break point, but I haven't done the math on it. I should.
