I didn't have a great hatch but I blame that on rough shipping and my poor incubating skills. The eight chicks that did hatch out on a favorable moon are thriving.

I candled mine yesterday at 12 days and discarded 14 out of 32, the other 18 are looking good. These eggs were shipped from quite a distance and the box had taken a couple hard licks so not surprising.
I feel pretty good about getting 10-12 biddies barring any disasters.
I set eggs on June 27, I'm confused about whether the dates are for setting or hatching...
Don't know that I believe in the moon signs but don't really disbelieve either. Would rather be safe than sorry. : )
