Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

Still air Hovabator. Dry hatch at 101-102 and then humidity at 65-70% during lockdown. One of the eggs was peeping....I think...but no pips. These poor things have been through the wringer already, so getting this far was a miracle in itself, really. Anything that hatches should be gold!

If gold is the background color and that's what it looks to me, it should be: blue laced gold. (gold background with blue lacing)
To be gold laced blue, the back ground would need to be blue.......... (it would have to have a blue background with gold lacing).Walt

First humidity to high, just check that you heard the peeping and see the chick so big and not able to move and can't broke the egg shell.
If you hatch expensive birds you need better incubator, i use the hovabator before and i hate.
Orpington like 55-60 humidity on hatch time .
