Marans and Ameraucanas

[WiseChicks]

Jody -

I always put 'em in the bator "as is". I figure that the hen doesn't wash 'em before she broods, so it must be ok!

LOL!! I am very excited for this hatch. I had a loaded bator this fall, and our furnace broke halfway through the hatch. I came home to a house that was 40 degrees, and a bator that was 60. I got a heatlamp on it and got the temp back up, and I actually got 1 viable chick out of the whole nightmare (out of 48 eggs) Peeps is our spoiled rotten baby.

Do not open the bator during the hatch!

It is so tempting and will make you crazy but you will get a better hatch, I promise!
