She's still considered a splash and should give you blue babies when crossed to black

thank you kindly

Yeah I have a chart that tells how to get blue, but I can still hope!
and you gotta work with the roosters you have.

But I think the copper from the BCM can come out accenting in the blue also.

Ugh! Dang humidity!! AGAIN! I put my 10 eggs (which all look really good!) into lockdown last night and added some water to up my humidity...well, I guess I was a little overzealous with the water, cuz now it's up at almost 95%! I took a towel and tried to soak some of it up to lower it again (I want it between 70-75%) but Idk if it'll go down quickly enough. I swear, I can't wait til I make my own bator after new year's...this one just bugs me. It's because it's a Farm Innovators, so it's not the best quality there is...I'm also planning on getting a brinsea spot check soon so I can reliably keep tabs on my humidity. Don't know if I told you guys, but my incutherm plus was 28% (!!!) off when I calibrated it at the beginning of this hatch! I need something WAYYYY more reliable than that! I am officially never incubating in winter again. It is really hard here. I live at a pretty high elevation, we're humid in the summer, but it seems very dry in the winter...idk. I'm pretty dang frustrated, that's for sure!

well that is frustrating
when it's dry in the house, some people have had luck putting a humidifier in the room

Ok, this might sound stupid, but have any of you ever heard of a roo going broody? My blue wheaten Am boy is currently laying on a couple of the girls' eggs, and he's making little cooing noises. What the heck? This can't be normal...

Lol, what is he doing?
