Any ideas on this? I am adding the pictures again as they don't seem to be working in my girlfriends original post. We have 9 girls in total, no rooster and these two are the only ones displaying this problem. They still lay eggs on a regular basis.
Hi,
This coming spring I would like to try hatching some eggs to add to my flock instead of buying chicks. My question is, if I get a dozen eggs of each of the breeds I would like, how many males and females could i expect from each dozen or is that to small an amount to have any expectations...

I was advised by another member to open it up to them at 16 weeks old. I actually was a couple days late and found an egg on the coop floor but she learned quickly to lay eggs in the nest box.
