Pros: Packed with beginner information and a good reference guide
Cons: haven't found any cons
I bought this book when I was talking about getting chickens. Didn't know a thing about them. I read and read this book. Went to a chicken auction a few months later and bought my first 4 girls. I am proud of what I picked. Silver Laced Wyandottes, big, healthy, friendly, dependable. I love them. This book is a must have especially for beginners. Im using it now to hatch my own eggs.
How did your hatch go? I'm wondering because on p284 (very last sentence) the book says to stop turning the eggs after day 14. Most people continue turning through day 18, from what I've read and heard on here anyhow. What did you end up doing, and how did your hatch go? Just wondering if this is good new information... or if it was a typo. I've never read about stopping turning after day 14 before. Thanks for any info you can provide- Cheers! :)
