Where are you located? I have a couple of contacts. Rhode Island Reds, White Leghorn, Plymouth Rock are the ones recommended to me.

I am about 60 km east of KK.

One contact is at Ubonratana about 25 km north of KK. He has a mix of PR and RIR. Both good for meat and eggs. He has left the country for a few months but his wife runs the place anyhow.

The other is up in Phayao. A long drive for chicks. He has some specialty breeds and a great line of RIR. He can ship eggs but I think not chickens or chicks. (too hot).

I have made an incubator for a little more than 1000 baht with a digital hygrometer and temp indicator. A digital thermostat a small lamp and a hose for adding water for humidity control. I have it made but decided I needed better control for the temperature. It will do about 15 eggs at a time. Should be about 80% hatch rate.

Actually I am still waiting for the thermostat and a small 12v power supply. Should be in before the second week of June. Hopefully the temp will be more manageable by then.

Let me know when you are ready.
