Anybody else waiting 'till spring?

[jossanne]

I'm waiting til spring, only because my bantam cochins are only 11 weeks old, and I can't afford to buy an incubator. So hopefully my cochin girls will go broody VERY soon after they start laying, and I can buy my silkie eggs that I'm dying to get...

I'm trying so hard to wait.....

I'm not sure if I can hold out til spring though.

I am. Im starting early this year (i just cant wait till march), so I only have about 2-3 more weeks till I start collecting eggs to hatch.

Just think, if you start now you will have eggs by summer.

NOOOO! Not me...
Got 3 bators full (or nearly) and just got another LG yesterday to set more duck eggs.
It is always SPRING here.

DH didn't want me to hatch any this year.
But silly me, I 'volunteered' to do some test-hatches for some nice folks on BYC

Thankfully, I have homes for the ones we can't fit, if I have a wonderfully successful hatch

Oh I love, love, love the volunteer idea! We are, after all, living in the Volunteer State! And I have a couple of people interested in some Silver Spangled Hamburgs as soon as I have extras. I planned on ordering some SSH pullets this spring but I think I should get some eggs also.

I am from the Northeast (Connecticut), is there a specific time for hatching eggs? I had no idea.

I'm waiting for March. My house has wood heat and huge temperature swings, so I think waiting for spring is practical. I've never risked a brooder outside. Boy, it's hard to be practical!
