Beekissed, I will definitely keep some records and report from time to time what's going on with our batch to hatch. truthfully I'm scared to death to do a dry hatch but with several people stating that they have success with it, i feel it's worth a try. Of course, i can tweak it if i find there...

enola, Thanks for the info and encouragement!! i'm hoping and praying to get a good hatch going and i don't have a clue what i'm going to do with all these sweet little chicks that i'm about to bring into the world...i guess make them egg layers and the culled boys our lunch and dinner guests...
