Got a few prs together, but its still a little cold here at night. The pairs that I have together, don't seem to be in any hurry to get aquainted!
I'll put the rest together on the first of Feb.!

Are you using fosters?With 4 pair of fosters you could have a round of 12 squeakers all within a month of the same age.

February 16, 17. That hopefully gives enough time from laying to hatch til weather breaks a lil bit. Was -22 F last 2 nights. No heat in the loft ... I use lights beginning Feb 1rst to simulate 14 hr day length. Good luck to all this season ...

Had a few prs already going and the cold weather wiped me out! Nights been between 10 & 20 degrees and days staying pretty much below freezing and windy for over a week now! Hope at least, they all go lay at the same time on the next go-round! Putting the rest together on the 1st of Feb.
