yep I am getting eggs from my crele penedesenca and have a friend test hatching. ( we are moving this week) Next week I will set any eggs I get this week as they should stop laying once I move I am sure.I hope everyone has their breed pens setup or is at least thinking about them.
We had our first hatch yesterday. I set eggs every Saturday; so, we should be hatching each week until either Easter or Ascension Day. I had the Pox late and that set my hens back at least one month. Hatches at this point are small.
First hatch included:
Cubalaya
Lemon Blue Games
Brown Red Games
Secret Asil Project
I would not mind getting some of those Catalanas this year. I think I might be getting some from Sand Hill with my Black Penedesenca order so may be nice yo get some more.The incubator gets cranked Thursday evening. I thought I was going to need lights on the Catalanas to get them up and going, but they are outlaying the NHs. I was telling someone that I think they are happy to be moved south.
I have to wonder just how secret this Asil project is, lol.

There is a man that keeps Catalanas in California. He started with Ideal, but he has worked with them for around five years. He "created" some bantams to. He would be a lot closer. I will ask him if I can give you his contact information, and pm it to you. Are you in in the North or South?
Yeah working on it here we are just now getting winter weather here in Louisiana always last of Dec. and thru Jan. is our worst. Thing is very cold nights and then the days will warm up so much, sometimes as much or more than 30* and it plays heck with the incubators even indoors (central controlled unit). The temps fluctuate too much so I generally will start collecting up around Feb.1 and try to get things kicked off around Valentines day(good round numbers and easy to remember too) LOL + 'tis to seem to be the appropriate season for such activitiesI hope everyone has their breed pens setup or is at least thinking about them.

Saladin, Are you saying pluck ALL the feathers or just the larger feathers from around the vent? I was advised to leave the sperm feathers at the lip of the vent. And it is plucking vs clipping. I was advised that clipping the feathers leaves sharp edges that can injure the rooster. would you agree with that advice?
