I want to join the thread! I started my second clutch on 4-6, I'm counting today a day 4. I got the eggs locally and I'm not sure of the hens but the rooster is a Lavender Orphington. The lady had quite a collection. I am so excited! I couldn't wait and candled them all tonight and I have 8 out of 10 eggs showing veining and the start. Very faint of course but YAY! I will check them again in a few days. I'm pretty sure one of them is no good but want to give it a chance to prove itself. I will have to check the email from the lady I recieved the eggs from as she gave me a list of what most of her hens are. Two of the eggs are a very dark chocolaty brown and the others are varying shades of light brown. Sorry this is getting long but I don't want to wake my daughter to tell her the cool news, LOL.
