honestly I started feeling guilty everytime one would try to hatch out or make it until hatch date and then die. I kept feeling like I was messing with mother nature.
I have my last load of chicken eggs in the bator a wide variety of 3 Old English, 3 silkie, 2 Naked necks and 3 RIR.
I ordered 12 RIR pullets from the local store. They are $1.75/chick. So I figured with what I am paying in shipping and my hatch rate thats cheaper than trying to hatch them out, lol. I am more concentrating on hatching out my sebastopol geese.
I have 6/9 seb. goose eggs in the incubator...
