Hi,
I'm new to chickens. I'm currently incubating a dozen or so Black copper Maran eggs that my son puchased for someone else...long story, but they are mine now. They've been in the incubator that came with them for 16 days now so I'm getting a little nervous about the upcoming hatching. I know that at least 4 of them are alive....I could see definite movement in them 2 days ago. I've been reading everything about chicks but I'm mostly concerned about the time of year that they will be hatching. Will I need to keep them in my house til May??? DH isn't thrilled about that prospect at all!
