Just north of Allegan, I raise genetic hackle chickens (fly tying feathers) and standard size american gamefowl. 30+ yrs raising chickens.

Be very careful if you looking for very good dry fly hackle, many that have "fly tie" chickens don't have real genetic hackle birds. I would be happy to send you feather samples to tie with prior to purchase. I know these are expensive so I want my customers to be happy. You can see from this...

I hatch in a forced air cabinet and have in the past used a forced air foam incubator. If you keep your humidity at the right level it shouldn't matter to much.
