[FONT=Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Additions to this list will be greatly appreciated, and we'll be happy to give you credit!!
Remember...[/FONT][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]. These #'s are not cast in stone. Depending on your incubator settings, skill level, and the eggs' genetic make-up, length of incubation will differ. A couple degrees off could mean a big change in length of incubation and possibly a big failure!!! If you are using a good broody hen the numbers should be right on![/FONT]
