Hi everyone!
I've always ordered day old chicks because you can choose the sex, know the breed for sure, and the chance of loss of life is much smaller.
But I thought it would be fun for my kids to hatch day old chicks. So I picked up a basic incubator for about $50 at TSC and placed my first order for a dozen hatching eggs by mail.
I've read about hatching eggs, but that's about it.
Any insider tips for a newbie on how to get my first batch of eggs to hatch???
