Its in THE OLD FARMERS ALMANAC in the back pages in ASTROLOGY it was on page 230 this year and it has a list of what the moon is in and the signs like cancer,pisces,scorpio ect,ect and it said this year that chicks born under a waxing moon in the fruitful signs of cancer,pisces,scorpio are healthier and mature faster and to find the best hatch day you look at the list for those signs and you count back 21 days i wrote down all the best hatch days on my chick logbook and there is 20 good hatch days left this year the next months good days to set is July 7&8 ,14&15,23&24 and last day is July 26 i hatch out anywhere from 2 to 4 times a month and i only have two incubators but its good on alof of the days you set eggs thats also sometimes a day you take eggs out of the turner and put them on the wire so far i have hatched out 40 chicks my mom also uses the THE OLD FARMERS ALMANAC to see what is the best days to PLANT

[chickens? not yet]

I use to use THE OLD FARMERS ALMANAC alot, even took my babies bottles from them by the moon, always planted by the moon. I now live in Az. (from Ky.) so we don't plant much at all, I hadn't thought about hatching chicks, my grandmother did that years ago. Thanks for bring that up!!
