Good news! 25 out of 29 eggs are alive and developing, today is day seven. One I'm not sure, so I'm gonna leave it in the incubator until the next candling. Oh man though, those EE eggs are hard to see through! Lol
Just set some barnyard mix eggs! I have EEs, a Marans, and three mixed breed hens. I had a Phoenix rooster, a few 1/2 Phoenix roos, two EE roosters, and an Orpington rooster in with them. So who knows what I'll get! Lol I set 23 eggs, plus a few pullet eggs thrown in to see if they'd hatch or not.
My pullet barn yard cross laid her first egg at just five months old! So exciting! Three days and three eggs. Any name suggestions for her? She's small, black, and has a small crest. Her sister hasn't started laying yet, but I need a name for her too. She's small, yellow, and has no crest.
Hmm...I might have to try that. Do you have any info on how the air cells should develop? Can it work with duck eggs too? Or do they really need the humidity? Thanks!
I've got one black hen who's a mix of who knows what. Lol She's very broody, hatches me 3-4 batches of chicks every year, but lays really well when she isn't broody. Only thing that makes her a not quite perfecr chicken is her personality and her size. I like good sized birds so I can butcher...
