Those are some gorgeous eggs.
Left side, 3rd from back and Right side 2nd and 4th from back...who's laying them?

You need to tag them at hatch or separate at lockdown. 👍

Thanks! I have 2 BCM hens. 1 has darker eggs than the other.
1 has a dark ends and some speckles and the others lighter with fine reticulations.
I bought some tiny rubber bands to tag at hatch.
Some of the mixed eggs have some marans lineage also. Its gonna be hard to distinguish the chicks without tags.

Yes, that's why I did all BCM this time. The MMM's look identical, so I'll do an OE, MMM hatch at some point.
I used bath bags cut down to s separate at lockdown. You can see one in this pic. Much easier and then I used super small zipties when I pulled them out of Bator.
I had Betty's and Joannies in hatch bags to separate from Angels.
Just an idea if you wanted it...👍

I’ve had the marans separated for over a week or so now, I’m going to start my eBay post to start selling their hatching eggs.

That is true, but more an excuse to post more baby silkie pictures. I got a surprise blue partridge silkie from my pen of whites and paints, I’m going to have to start a post because even I can’t work out how it happened genetically (the roo is pure white).
