Is it okay if I hatch REALLY early on most of mine? I've got a hen that's about to go broody.

I'll wait on the Seramas though.

 

[HeyHey]

where can I buy eggs?

This is perfect timing. I had 10 hatch on Christmas day, so hatching chicks on Easter Saturday seems only appropriate! I'm in.

I am in! I need to add to my flock due to neighbors dogs.
We r now fenced and secure.

Welcome! That’s a shame about the neighbor dog but glad you are now secure.

I'lll join with chickens. Some chicken pals who don't have a bator need new chicks, so may as well!
First hatch-a-long!!!

Like contract hatching! Good luck

+or- 1/2 of set day is usually fine. Is that right @Happy Chooks ?

I’m thinking of getting Malines eggs for this. Pros and cons anyone who knows this breed. I’ve had them before but I think I got a bad batch. All 4 died at about POL including rooster.
