Best Days to incubate

[hobbychick]

Hi, I am new to all of this. But I have been raising chickens that I have bought for about 2 years now and I am LOVING it! I have recently decided to try to incubate some eggs.

I have everything I need and am all set up but some one had told me that if you incubate in the sign you get better results. Does any one have any idea what the sign is for April or May? It is not in the farmers almanac in the best days section. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks!!

Set them when ever you are ready. I don't think day time, cycles of the moon or how the earth spins matters.

For me - it's Friday afternoon. Then I have all weekend to watch them

According to the Farmer's Almanac, you pick one of the fertile signs for the hatch date and count back 21 days for the set date. I think the next good time is supposed to be this weekend.

I always set shipped eggs on thursday mornings. They ship on Monday. I get them on Wednesday. I set them on Thursday. I don't do moon cycles and such either.

I set mine on a sunday morning so they will start hatching on saturday when I'm home.
