SETTING EGGS BY THE MOON’S SIGN

Chicks take about 21 days to hatch. Those born under a waxing Moon in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces are healthier and ma-ture faster. To ensure that chicks are born during these times, “set eggs” (place eggs in an incubator or under a hen) 21 days before the desired hatching dates.

EXAMPLE:

The Moon is new on May 11 and full on May 26 (EDT). Between these dates, the Moon is in the sign of Cancer on May 15 and 16. To have chicks born on May 15, count back 21 days; set eggs on April 24.

Below are the best days to set eggs in 2021, using only the fruitful dates between the new and full Moons, and counting back 21 days:

JAN.: 5, 6, 22, 23

FEB.: 1, 2, 20, 28

MAR.: 1, 2, 28, 29

APR.: 5, 24, 25

MAY: 3, 4, 21–23, 30, 31

JUNE: 18, 19, 27, 28

JULY: 24, 25

AUG.: 1, 20, 21, 29, 30

SEPT.: 16, 17, 25, 26

OCT.: 14, 15, 22, 23

NOV.: 18–20

DEC.: 16, 17, 25–27
