What are your Spring 2021 hatching plans?

[ChloeSilkie08]

I use this one. This is my fourth hatch with it and I've had good results. I set 45 eggs into it last spring, some weren't fertilized others were quitters, went into lockdown with 33 eggs and 29 hatched.
I left 4 in there until day 29 and that's when I had one hatch on day 29. She's a hen, but still doesn't want to lay at almost 8 months!View attachment 2449198

I haven't heard of that one!
