I didnt get everything in the incubator right away and I think my temps are a bit low so mine may be a bit later but everything in there now was developing. I have 7 CLB eggs 1 Barred Holland and from Neal 3 RIR and 8 Delaware. So everyone should be easily identifiable.

Has anyone heard from @CackleJoy lately. I was hoping that maybe I could get some more CLB eggs from her if she still has them.
Any one else that might be coming to the party that might have them. I've been trying to hatch out my starting stock for breeding these and coming by pullets seems a...
