Don't have to do that, they give you the dates online for two months, here is the link. Nov 10,11,12 are the best days for this month. I tried it this past hatch, but I screwed up and opened the incubator to much due to a chick that was not doing well, Won't be doing that again. got 2 out of 6 in lockdown, the other 4 were full chicks at lock down. A 3rd one died during the night due to shrinkwrap. Anyways I will be trying again. Here is the link, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom.

I came across this subject in this year's O.F.A. and did some calculations. Their explanation is that chicks that are hatched in a waxing moon and when the moon is in the signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are healthier and mature faster. SO, I present the set dates for the spring of 2015.

Feb 25 for March 18/19 hatch

March 6 for a March 27/28 hatch

April 2 for a April 23/24 hatch

April 29 for a May 20/21 hatch

May 9 for a May 30/31 hatch

May 27 for a June 17/18 hatch

June 6 for a June 27/28 hatch

Other set dates exist but I figured these to benefit my purposes and wanted to share.

Found this site with egg setting dates:

I have no idea if this is nonsense & certainly don't understand it. Yet if I'm getting ready to set some eggs near one of these dates, it wouldn't hurt to move the set date a day or two. I've already seen firsthand how the moon affects the activity in the maternity ward. I suppose it may affect plant & animal development.
