His comb looks really strange, modified. That and lack of crest I wouldnt call him pure in the off chance he has something else in there, but he could just be a really poor quality bird. He will still make wonderful EE and hopefully OE offspring.

Still one little lot left for the end of September then more eggs due in October :jumpy
Turns out I need to stop doubting olive eggs when I can't see into them very well, so far 5 have hatched. The white egg and Marans have also hatched.
Third and last September batch is down to I think it was 5 eggs on day 10, rest were clear because mr rooster still doesn't fancy all the hens in...
aww hello little ones!. I have used paper towels in a pinch many times. didn't even think of puppy pads this time but thankfully found a stash from our puppy when he was toilet training
Fingers crossed for a good candle!
I moved my next lot into lockdown. doesnt look promising i didnt see movement in most if the OE, pulled a few out that have obviously quit and left the ones that look full.
6 chicks have hatched so far from the second batch. 3 blue golden cuckoo Marans (wasn't expecting all blue) the birchen Marans, one olive egger from a blue egg and one Welsummer. A few more pips in the Welsummer and the other blue but wrong end there
I'll never understand why, but I did buy a power board for the TWO powerpoints mere meters away and pointed him to them saying "look you have extras now". Followed up with another 14 eggs in the incubators due on the 30th, that lot is a test batch so not sure how many will develop but they...
