Northwest Michigan- When are we making babies?

Our take

Spring is just around the corner in Northwest Michigan, and that means it's almost time for our feathered friends to start making some cluck-tastic babies! After a cozy winter, I'm thrilled to watch my gals hatch their eggs this season. Typically, northern US chicken tenders begin incubating fertilized eggs around April and May when temperatures rise above 50 degrees. Do you prefer using an incubator, or do you let your hens do the sitting? Let’s chat about the best hatching methods for our farmyard adventures!

We are in Northwest Michigan and should be warming up in March. My gals did great this winter and I am so excited to hatch their babies this spring!

When do northern US chicken tenders usually start incubating fertilized eggs? Do you have a preference on hatching with an incubator or letting your gals just sit on their eggs?

I am assuming April or May will be most safe when temps are above 50 degrees but unsure.
