to hatch or not to hatch, that's a tough question

How do I choose which eggs we eat and which eggs we don't. Every time I pick up an egg it happens. Hard boiled egg or broiled chicken?

Does the egg go into a carton and put into a frig for later consumtion ...or... do I put it into an incubator and raise more birds for meat. Fried eggs or fried chicken?

I've had poultry for many years but only having purchased an incubator a few years ago, this additiction of hatching eggs is hard to fight. Quiche or roast? 

Even when the freezers full there's a mental debate going on in my head every time i hold that egg. Egg salad or chicken salad?

The economy doesn't help me make that choice either. Friends and family are experiencing hardships these days and are affected by our choices too. Omlete or barbque?

At this time the choice is made by our alaskan winters and incubator space.
