this is one of my white hens fanning with 2 young males

Thanks. My white pea baby was fanning last night and I was hoping that it was fanning because it is a male. hmm.png

Are you seeing anything on your eggs yet?  I had one that pipped this morning, heard chirping this evening but just the pip so far.  Mine are also due tomorrow.  They say a pot never boils when watched.  I took a nap most of the afternoon and that didn't help either.  hu.gif I was hoping to call g-daughters to watch, but don't want them to see me cryhit.gif if the little ones don't come out.  They say it helps to talk to plants.  I told these little ones I would really spoil them if they would come out and playwee.gif

Do all colors lay their eggs continuously through the season?  Do some color breeds lay ealier and quit, some later?  At the beginning of the season I would see adds saying one color was laying but waiting on another color should start in 2 wks.

Bet your smiling.  Almost 100%.  I'm still waiting, listening to little chirp here and there, no change.

I have a baby.  I have a baby.  He/She is out and healthy and strong chirping up a storm, feet and legs look straight as can be.  The other two have done nothing yet, but hoping he/she will get them moving.  It's due day today.  Got to go get G Daughter Chloe. Get G Daughter Matti to help celebrate.ya.gif
