Hi honora,It's Day 10 here & I just candled the 8 Orpington eggs in the bator. I only saw 1 developing the last time I candled, so I was happily surprised to see 5 moving around tonight and 1 that looks like it stopped developing but I am not sure so I left it. There was also 1 clear and 1 blood ring. So it looks like I have 1 each of jubilee, partridge, lavender, chocolate and lemon cuckoo. Now to see if I can candle the broody's eggs...
My EE hen started going broody today too and would not get out of the nest box where the other hen is sitting. I am not letting the EE hatch eggs though cause she is aggressive to us & I don't like her so she is getting broken! As soon as the little ones hatch, the EE hen is going on Craigslist...
If you have any roosters let me know. I need a new orp one. My choc boy is gettin old.
