Diary & Notes of 1st ATTEMPT at Hatching
(THREAD I started in incubating and hatching area on here! Please have a look and share some of your "know how" Lord knows after reading all the ups and downs and in and outs I need it! WOW~!! confusing and all over the place!! )
First of all, I am located in Eastern PA. I have an addiction to Chickens and tend to spoil them rotten. I am a stay at home Mom who raises her kids, English Springer Spaniels and babysits for friends & family.
We have built two recycled coops for our 17 hens and Roo. We spoil the "girls" with oatmeal, raisins and anything else we know they love! My kids even started a Meal Worm Box and their next project is a worm farm. But not until these finicky girls eat them!!
I am not new to chickens & peepers, BUT I am a NEWBIE to hatching! I have always purchased my chicks at our local Ag center. This time we decided to hatch (OK I decided to hatch, like everything else, the hubby will come around full swing and get "into" it even more than I do! He is already letting me know that the incubator is running at the correct temp every time he ventures up from the lower level!)
I have to admit I have read, read and read myself into total confusion in regards to incubation! What the BeeeJimmmmminy Krickets! Soooooo....Taking what I have learned, what makes the most sense and hoping you can help fill in the cracks!
