I cut this turner to fit the chest ```

I had a Genesis Hovabator 1588 but sold it before I moved down here. That's one of those Styrofoam ones with a fan. Your turner looks like mine except mine had 6 rows of 7, not 4 rows.

I've given up on chickens for a couple of different reasons. Any animal you can't board ties you down and I'm in suburbia so cannot keep them the way I'd want to. I do miss them. Its not just the meat, broth, eggs, and compost, they are interesting to watch and fun to hatch.

Get a FEW chickens you don't need to board a pet sitter comes to your home. Clean coop before leaving sitter just needs to feed and keep watered. In suburban neighborhood you can have hens no roosters.

Exactly, hens but no roosters. I raise them for meat and to play with genetics so I need to hatch. Keeping a few hens in a cage would not be anywhere close to satisfying. Different folks, different goals.

" they are interesting to watch" Cant have it all but can have a piece.
