Collecting Eggs For Hatching

 I started collecting eggs for the incubator today. I'll keep the biggest, darkest eggs everyday for a week and a half. There's no problem storing them, just keep them between 50 and 70 Dg and they'll stay fertile for quite awhile.

  I make three hatching a year, and I truly believe these winter hatches produce the durable and hardy of all. I'm guessing the cold weather keeps their immune system working and decreases the chance of poor health. Just a guess.
