Hello everyone, I'm new to here but have kept hens for a few years now. I hatched my first-ever half dozen eggs last year, just after lockdown started in the spring and was totally eggstatic when all 6 hatched. I was less pleased a few weeks later when 5 of them turned out to be cockerels. The breeder I got the eggs from said that although I was unlucky, usually more males than females hatch earlier in the year, then the balance tips back the other way later in the season. Has anyone else found this? Reading a couple of posts on this thread would appear to support this idea. In which case should I wait before I start incubating this year, and if so what is the latest date people usually set eggs? 05
