Loved reading this article Even though my hen will be doing the incubating (her 1st time), I loved the graphic showing the air sac at the different stages and the advice on monitoring the weight to determine development. Thank you.

Excellent article! I have ducks instead of chickens but all suggestions listed apply just the same, with exception of raising the coop off the ground. I enjoyed reading this & had a feeling of relief (and little bit of pride) being able to say to myself, "glad I did that already." My next step is the electric net because I don't even like seeing the raccoons on my camera coming by and know there's one more thing I can do to keep my babies safe and for that, I thank you for taking the time to write this.

Absolutely love this build! Very detailed, easy to follow, I appreciate the parts list and the pictures to show each step. I also appreciated the update on the effectiveness and the change made after the first hatch.

Thank you so much for writing about this. I'm in Florida and even though we have an environment that could put us in danger of a forest fire, our biggest concern for evacuation would be from hurricanes. I'm new to having ducks and had not thought about this particular what-if. I appreciate you giving a list of things I will need to remember to take with me and things I will need to purchase in order to be prepared for temporary housing for my babies. The only addition to this article could be off the top of my head would be that once you found out that Red Cross eventually made arrangements to accommodate poultry, what was their requirements for being able to take in people's birds? Not that I personally would choose this option but for the sake of, well, what-if it was my ONLY option.

Again thank you for writing this as it given me things to think about of what I need to have ready and things I still need to get, you know, just in case.

Awesome article!
Loved seeing each day and enjoyed the added information you provided on what I would see "if" you opened the egg. Extremely educational. Thank you for taking the time and care to create this and for sharing it with us.
