Thank You. I try hard. I have been wondering what varieties and when people plan to hatch their next years chicks. Last year the weather was so bad here that I carried water for 6 weeks because the line to the hydrant froze and did not thaw until March. I hatched the latest I ever had. Just could not face caring for chicks in inclement weather. I am planning on turning the lights on late January so I start to hatch in March. Remember the males need the light as long or longer than the hens to be fertile. Happy hatching.
