I could use your opinions...
2 weeks ago yesterday I had to euthenize my beloved Cream Legbar rooster due to severe frostbite.. well today I received my first 2 cream legbar eggs.. what are the chances of them being fertile?
Thanks for your opinons
Well I was mostly worried about their ability to walk and balance and less worried about show quality birds. They seem to be getting around better now.
looking from some advice--
I bought some black copper maran eggs off ebay (probably my first mistake) and they are hatching today. Most of these have deformities in their toes. The first one that hatched has fused 2nd and third toes. The others seem to have a short (nearly missing) outter...
Its day 6.so while checking for growth I noticed 1 egg set with air sac down and vessels on other end. (in my defense the breeder marked it that way)

echoing the above warning! it looks like that heat lamp may not have a ceramic base where the bulb screws in. the ceramic ones don't get hot like the metal/plastic ones.
just fyi as I've learned from experience. Each and every surface of everything in that room will be covered in a fine dust. you may want to put your treasures away while your babies are growing out. I just raised up some silkies and showgirls in the garage and everything was covered in dust...
yes.. sky blue.. They are very pretty. I love the auto sexing gene too. I will always be able to discern male from female right out of the egg:) and it breeds true generation after generation!
