Had a lot of infertile eggs. 29 were developing and made it to lock down. 26 hatched! One cinnamon queen/spitzhauben mix, 6 spitzhauben and 19 Easter Egger

48 eggs set!

8 Lavender Orpington
6 Spitzhauben

Thank you! That link is great! I think you are right the 2 solid ones came from the RIR rooster and the other 3 might be mixed with the ameraucana! Her ameraucana came from me when I let my broody hatch 2 years ago, so definitely ameraucana. Mine came from a breeder not a hatchery. I get the...
That link is great! Thank you! I think you might be right that the 2 solid ones came from the RIR roo and the others might be mixes! So cute!
Her ameraucana is definitely an ameraucana, she got her roo and hens from me when I let my broody hen hatch 2 years ago. Mine came from a breeder not a...
