I would, but I don't have any eggs yet. It is sort of the wrong time of year for eggs and hatching.

I know many people who hatch eggs during fall and winter so that they will be ready summer and fall shows. But is a lot more risky when you ship eggs during the winter, they freeze a lot and not everyone will use heat packs.

I have 13 females right now, 4 hens and 9 pullets. I got my first egg in about a month yesterday. My birds do take a break in the winter. Laying should start to pick up now with the daily increase in photo-period. I don't use lights for earlier laying. Many people do. My bantam pullets are "prime" at 5.5-6.5 months, cockerels a bit later, 6-7 months. Anyhoo....March to May hatching is soon enough for most of the Fall shows I attend. I usually get in too big a hurry to start hatching. I don't think I'll set any eggs till the first of Feb. Instead of setting every week, I think I'll hold eggs on a turner and set every two weeks. I hope the over-all quality of my line will allow for fewer birds hatched. Its easy to hatch TOO many. I'm thinking 25 of both varieties, MAYBE 35.
