    Incubators Anonymous

    I am not sure where to post this so here I go. I had chickens about 12 years ago and just started to enjoy them again. There is nothing more peaceful and joyful than to watch them beebop around the farm. I have 12 chicks in the basement waiting for the weather to warm up some so I can move them...

    March Hatch-Along Thread- Come Hatch With Us!!!!!

    I have shipped eggs in the bator right now. Day 14. I read and re-read all of the great info on this site and let my eggs sit for 24 hours before placing them in the bator. After that - I put them in the bator in the turner, without the turner turned on and left them there for 6 days. I could...
