So...I have dark eggs that are pretty porous. Should I even attempt to candle at day 7, or should I just wait for day 14 when I know I'll be able to see something for sure? Will the bad ones explode?
Is there even such a thing as a Lavender Australorp?
I have not found any breeders of this type of chicken, but I am seeing an awful lot of Lavender Orpingtons that have the more upright carriage of the Australorp, tail angle of the Australorp, and a head that favors Australorp more than it...
I'm not saying it's correct in the least but I see a lot of breeders having 'English' orpingtons that have a huge cushion.
SOP dictates that English have a lesser angle to the tail than do American.
I'll join you! This is my first post AND my first time with shipped eggs!
I am setting 15 Lavender Orpington eggs tomorrow. I could use all the good luck and good vibes I can get! Oh, and I plan to use the dry method.
