Is there any specific season for incubating & hatching eggs? Like people say that during Monsoon season, one should not keep eggs under a broody hen or incubator. Is it true?

No, no certain season. However, when your chicks hatch (about 25 days give or take), they are fragile and small. So you should take the climate and season of your predicted hatch into consideration. For example, I would never hatch eggs in November, because by December I would have tiny chicks in -30°C weather. For you, your climate is different, so take into consideration what your climate is.

Hi I am not too familiar with your seasons but if you are in the mountains avoid the winter and it’s probably wise to miss the monsoon with little chicks unless you have somewhere under shelter as otherwise you will probably lose a few in the wet if free ranging

Winter: Temperature falls below 0 upto I think -2
Summers: Max upto 39-40

Avoid winter unless you can house them under shelter, and I would avoid the monsoon, but otherwise (depending when your monsoon season is, can you hatch in spring?

Yes Spring will start here in the mid of March!

Definitely spring, your hens should laying and ready to brood
