Went to see about the incubator yesterday. We visited one place where it seemed quite expensive, so I suggested we return to the orphanage to discuss with them. Their incubator is cheaper, but it's manual, so when the eggs are being incubated they have to be turned every 4 hours. Somehow they made a mistake and didn't turn them once and have lost 500 eggs!
So HOME will be shelling out for an automatic incubator with 200 eggs. We've decided to start there, as the kids and workers at the orphanage will be learning as they go. It's possible for them to just do 100 at a time as well.
We'll be building another chicken coop especially for the incubator and the chicks they hatch from it. The other coop, that is finished will be used for keeping broilers or layers.
So still some work to be done, but it'll be great. Thanks again for reading and your help!
