I'm still getting used to raising chickens, so please excuse my ignorance on the subject. I'm sure everyone is aware of the recent "1000 Year Flood" to hit my great State, and it's been absolutely horrible for the families and individuals in parts. My flock was laying well throughout the rains...
Okay so, the wife would like to raise some of our flock from scratch (pun not intended) but I'm trying to get the jist of this hatching our own thing. What is this "holding eggs for incubation" talk? Like I mentioned, extremely new venture for me. Any help would be tremendously appreciated. TIA
