Trying to get a dozen Semara eggs, supposed to be the smallest chicken in the world. Cocky looking things.
Nice thunderstorm moved through this evening. We sure needed the rain.
I’m planning on running chickens through the incubators for two months. Can get 6 runs in two months. Should get around 120 birds out of that. If I can sell 100 hens come spring I’ll gross $2000, takes $30 a week to feed that many birds. Six months, 24 weeks to maturity. Cost me about $500 to feed em from hatch to sale. Would net a cool $1500 bucks.
Hard to get 100 hens, mostly cockerels when they hatch. If I run all three incubators I could expect 180 hatched. Give or take.
