    First Time Hatcher 71%

    Over the last 6 days we've hatched out our first 2 hatches ever. We had 5 out of 7 local eggs hatch and 15 out 20 shipped eggs hatched which is 71% for both hatches. This was a fun family project and will be doing it more in the future. We used the LG Still Air with egg turner.
