You are a commercial business obviously not a home breeder as I agree no incubator [non commercial] runs 365 days

Who are you agreeing with Jeff?

Watch out Red hide:

:shock: You might be letting the ATO of your "hobby" (aka:business) :shock:

I would have to say if you're an 'enthusiast' that it could be possible to run your bator 24x7, especially if you have demand for your stock, without becoming a " commercial" business.

And the cost of that new Sportsman would require lots & lots of sales before break even is achieved.

Hey Red!Wink, wink, nudge, nudge :lol: :lol: :lol:

hahahahahaha funny stuff, i am not and never have been a commercial business mate, back when it ran for that length of time i was showing white leghorn bantams and breeding jap quail, hatching chickens to restock our egg layer birds for home and hatching muscovy ducks to try and I might say very succesfully establish a large mammoth muscovy line,

have a think about that Jeff, the ducks take 5 weeks alone to hatch a single batch, when ur hatching such a wide range of eggs space is lost when fitting them in the bator which means more batches.

the cost of a new sportsman is honestly irrelevent, the way this one has been full constantly i am considering either buying another one or the more likely outcome will be making my own upgraded sportsman that can set more. today i had to knock back a friend that wanted to set a heap of eggs because its chockers :roll:

That's a pretty antagonistic statement Jeff th_Noooo.gif

Please refrain from being antagonistic. We're a friendly bunch so just leave this one alone, please.

True!

I have to say if I could afford it, I'd run an incubator 24x7. I would love to breed chickens & build up a good line of Speckled Sussex, but at this stage I just have to go with what I can afford, which is 1 x SS rooster & 1x SS hen :-D
