Incubating for the first time

[FARMCHICKY]

Im new here and I think I posted this in the wrong section earlier. So, if you have already responded to my post, thank you and sorry you're having to read it again I have plenty of experience raising chicks who are a day or two old when I get them. However, I have found myself only having lazy, non-brooding hens. They sit around all day but not on their clutches. I am going to incubate for the first time. I couldn't think of a better place to get advice and tips. I will be turning them by hand. Any information will be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!

Good luck with your hatch, and you came to the right place for answers. If a specific question comes up -- you can always type keyword into the search bar at the top. I did that a LOT for my first hatch.... everytime a question came up.... like 'time from pip to zip' or any of a zillion others -- and you will find that you will discover a thread where there is a discussion and most probably answers already there.
