LOve the idea of hatching by the moon. Anything to increase hatch rates.But I'm very confused at this point. I live close to Boston, but are the dates listed in the first post Georgia dates or Bostons's dates?

Just set 12 BBS standard cochins & 12 BBS orpingtons...hoping the moon helps my hatch!!

This is a cool idea...I love doing things the way my Grandma did them...so this just makes me feel more connected, if that makes sense! Love this thread!

I'm with you, if the shipped eggs arrive in time; otherwise just a day or 2 behind!



Hot2pot--what are you setting??????

I am setting Iowa Blues, 2 mixed eggs that might have NN (ew!) and then some cochin eggs, buckeyes, Sussex, EE, and whatever else needs hatching. I swear, if I get NN, I am buying super glue and pink boas to dress them up:-D

NN sounds exciting ! What is NN?
