Very cool, thanks for posting.
I hope everybody understands you don't have set eggs on every one of those dates.

No?

Don't you start, I was afraid Jan would see this

Lol maybe I should edit it and leave only 2 or 3 dates!?

Somebody needs to start hatching though...I need to live vicariously through you....

My horror scope says theys the best days to go fishing . Hmmmm luck

Thanks! I copied it into a document to save for future reference.

This sounds like a great experiment! But, we need 'control' hatchings as well. I'm assuming the UNfavourable times to hatch would be when the moon is waning and in an unfavourable constellation? I have no idea how that works. How do I find out what the dates are? I will set eggs to hatch at both times, and see which hatches are better, which chicks healthier. But, one persons experience does not make a scientific ANYTHING (by the way, microwaved water grows plants just fine, despite what a middle schooler posted to a friend of a friend lol) SOOOO, it can't just be me, other people have to take part as well :D

Too late OC, she saw it!
