Okay, I'm confused. You already had hens and a rooster to fertilize
their eggs, and you've been stealing their eggs to hatch in an incubator. Why not just let the chickens hatch them naturally in their chicken nests. They wouldn't harm their own?

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 collectingeggs for round 2
of incubation, which, if I can get enough eggs, shouldstart 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 amdead in the
water. There's an economy of scale here, itmakes no sense to run
the incubator(and then lights) for a dozen eggs...atleast, that is
my break point, but I haven't done the math on it.I should.
