This will be the thread for 2017 hatching by the moon.
The idea is to set eggs so they will hatch under the waxing moon (between new and full) and in the fruitful signs of Pisces, Cancer or Scorpio.
The dates and times I listed are for chicken eggs, extrapolate earlier or later for other species.
For more information you can refer to this thread.

The following dates are for my location.
The times are listed in 24 hour clock format.

Pisces hatch.
Set from January 8, 10:10 to January 10, 15:46.
Hatch January 29, to January 31.
Cancer hatch
Set between January 17, 01:02 to January 19, 03:40.
Hatch between February 7 and February 9.
Pisces hatch
Set between February 5, 08:05 to February 6, 22:51.

Cancer hatch
Set between March 12, 13:26 to March 14, 17:13.
Hatch between April 2 and April 4.
The following dates aren't strictly within the guidelines but close enough if you have eggs to set then, you could try it.
The moon becomes full on April 11 and enters Scorpio at 17:41. So it is out of range but worth a try. I'll probably set on March 20 to 22.
Cancer hatch
Set between April 8, 20:47 to April 10, 23:11.
Hatch between April 29 and May 1.

Interestingly, what I discovered while doing the calendar, I can ship chicks on a Monday or Tuesday doing most of these hatches.
