    First Hatch

    We had 13 chicks hatch over the weekend. All survived! ya But, there are still 11 eggs in the bator, and not a single pip (this is now day 23)! We collected the eggs over a period of 4 or 5 days, so I'm not sure if that is making a difference. However, when candling the eggs it seemed like...

    Anyone with an idea what breed our hens and rooster are?

    Quote: Same batch? If they came from a hatchery they could have been a fill in. ( didnt have all the BSL you orderd so they filled in with a Black breed they did have ) Chris I suppose anything is possible...

    Anyone with an idea what breed our hens and rooster are?

    Thanks for the replies everyone, that seemed easy! @jeaucamom - my next ? would have been if the sex-link thing would work on 2nd gen, so you've answered that as well! @chris09 - the hens all came from the same batch, so they must all be BSL. Maybe just slightly different coloring on that...

    Hi everyone. This is our first try at hatching eggs. We've had a dozen hens for almost 2 years now and finally decided to hatch out some replacements. We set our eggs on 2/27 at about 9pm, so I'm counting today as day 20. Things have gone really well so far. We set 25 eggs and only ended up...
