Ya, I'm not sure. The seller disappeared off Ebay and I can't even see the original listing. My understanding at the time was they were all separate.
For the condition those eggs arrived in, im surprised I got such a good hatch.
Seems the washing them didn't affect them much at all
I'd appreciate that alot! They came from a hens choice, silver laced, lavender, chocolate, chocolate laced, jubilee, and not sure what else.
I have 6 more Welsummers from another breeder in the incubator. Hope they do a little better.
And I'm still waiting for my cream legbars
Thank you!
The only one I was a little disappointed in was the Welsummers.
I'm VERY pleased with the Orpingtons. Now if I can just figure out what colors they are
Day 22
Welsummer 2 out of 7 have hatched
BCM 8 out of 14 have hatched
Olive Egger 1 out of 1 have hatched
Orpingtons 8 out of 12 have hatched
All but 1 chick (BCM) have moved to the brooder
I'll leave the unhatched in a couple more days to see if any action
One final check tonight (Day 16) and we lost another Orpington.
So far the count is:
12 Orpingtons we have lost 2
14 BCM- I have not discarded any, as they are too dark. None smell, so I'm keeping my fingers x
She also included an Olive Egger and it's doing well
11 Welsummers we have lost 4...
Never count your chickens before they are hatched...or something like that :celebrate
Out of 12 eggs, 11 of them are moving on tonight. 1 for sure was gone and there are 2 I'm unsure of.
I'll recheck day 14.
Day 7 and overall I don't see any changes. Nothing telling me there is a chick developing in the Orpingtons.
Eggs didn't smell bad though.
This is my 1st hatch, so maybe I'm missing something
I'll recheck Sunday
