Hello all
So I've got 2 roosters,a silkie and a mutt,who obviously will be fertilizing eggs for me once my gals lay at a steady rate.
Now I really want to hatch some babies in the spring,but it's my first time.
Does anyone have some tips for me?
I know not all of them will hatch,it's like a 50/50 ratio?Depending on what was actually fertilized.
My gals haven't even started laying yet,they should be in about a week or so.
So I figure that in the spring they'll be in a good routine of laying.
I am using an incubator,borrowed from a good friend who's a farmer.
If you have any tips or experiances from your first time hatching,please post!!!
Thank you!
