I am very interested in trying this but I am not really sure how to do it.

My family and I got some red sexlink chicks, white leghorns and 4 cornish rocks from TSC this spring. We planned on eating the cornish rocks but then we decided against it because they were so sweet (we should've just done it, lol). Now, I was just reading that they wont live more than a year...

Today will be my last time turning my eggs and I was curious if I should put something down on top of the wire in the incubator? Also, I read somewhere that you can mist the eggs with some water before lockdown to help raise the humidity...is this something I should do? I have water in the...
