Sometimes memory loss can be very convenient.I know not of whom you speak?
I dare not start the bator before the second week of April. We get wild temp changes between now and then and the bator can't keep up.All but 1st egg is pretty good sized,1st egg was kind of small. Like to see some of my older hens start laying before I start collecting for incubation.
I have a few tabletop incubators that I use indoors to get a little earlier start. That way I can start as they begin laying. I like that extra month growth I can get for some of the jakes before Thanksgiving.I dare not start the bator before the second week of April.

Any time temps outdoors is below 30* I use wood heat. Starting in a week or two we'll wake up to temps in the teens and get up to 100s in the afternoon. My heat/ac is not auto switching so we'll turn on AC to go to bed and when we wake up the room with the bator will be in the 40's/50's. We'll start a fire, but it takes a couple hours for the room to heat up.I have a few tabletop incubators that I use indoors to get a little earlier start. That way I can start as they begin laying.

Yes, can understand that that is a lot of fluctuation.Any time temps outdoors is below 30* I use wood heat.
