Well folks I gotta get up early. Off to bed I go. Goodnight y’all!
You need to harden them off for about a week. They wI'll doLisa, we're having thunderstorms tomorrow as a front blows through. The overnight lows will be in the 40s and 50s all week. Will this shock my seedlings if I plant them now? Can I plant them in the afternoon when the ground is warm or do I need to bring them in at night this week? They’ve been outside on the porch for about a week.
I would still wait a bit yet Camp, nights temps should be a bit warmer & you want to protect them from high winds & heavy rain for a bit after you plant them. They will be hardier in my opinionLisa, we're having thunderstorms tomorrow as a front blows through. The overnight lows will be in the 40s and 50s all week.

But DIY is fun and exciting when it works!the more I read of all the issues and problems with incubating your own the more I am happy ordering chicks from Cackle Hatchery.
I agree wishing, I always made a point to have unrelated breeding birds when I was hatching to sell chicks & hatching eggs.Luck of the draw. He must have had good stock to begin with. I see people selling breeding "trios" and most of the time they are related and from the same parents. Should not be bred together... too much inbreeding.
I wonder why our TSC never has any of those breeds of birds. Very little selection here. They are going to go out of business in the next year I suspect. A new big feed store chain is supposed to building sometime this year just a couple miles down the road from my TSC store. I hate to see businesses close, but they don't even attempt to have a nice store or a stocked store.
I hope Im not breeding siblings. I was told no but......I agree wishing, I always made a point to have unrelated breeding birds when I was hatching to sell chicks & hatching eggs.
