I just had my very first extremely successful totally dry hatch. 17 of 18 hatched. The 1 stopped around day 18. Zero water, grabbed chicks here and there without worrying too much, easy clean-up. Now, yes, I will check air cell size from time to time, but I am HOOKED.
Chicken math has morphed into chicken futures. I've got each chick written on an index card to try and "pen" them how I want them all while checking the chicken calculator to see what will result from the groupings. Ridiculous. BUT, I am super-excited for next year.
And, of course, I have discovered I still need a few Orpington colors...
