I've raised chickens for years, and even hatched a few batches from a little hen who decided she needed her own. Took a break for a few years till my 20yr old daughter decided after seeing the YouTube video of the Light Brahma, her and her grandfather decided they were going to get some. So I built a new coop and decided I'd try to do some incubating. I built an incubator first batch 33% hatch rate, 2nd batch 86% hatch rate. So here I am hooked with 3rd batch in the incubator due to hatch Christmas eve weekend. I've done a lot of reading and learned a lot from this site as well as others, and I even managed to drag the misses and my 13yr old daughter into the mix even though she claims not to be interested, but come candling day she does all the egg handling. So thanks in advance for letting me be part of the group.
