excerpt from "How to Raise Chickens" Agricultural FFA Education

I bought this book several months ago.

I was reading in the artificial incubators page 121 "The eggs benefit from twenty minutes of colling each day. This corresponds to the time the hen would spend off the nest eating and drinking"

What do you guys think?

I think it's more work than necessary. I just set the T to be about 100, fill it up with water for 14 days, candle, and let it dry out till after they all hatch. I feel the less you touch them and fiddle with them, the better off they are.
