The link and email did not work for me .

1) I am co-organizer of the Arkansas Backyard Poultry Meetup Group.

2) as a lifetime member of the American Poultry Association, i like to help others.

I have this link on every hatching egg auction I list. If folks learn how to hatch eggs, they get a better hatch rate.

ETA: not sure why the link did not work.

 

[regenbogenfarm]

I couldn't hear him at all

 

[HallFamilyFarm]

It works better with exterior speakers. This year we had him use a sound system.
