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
After candling, out of 48, looking like 13 infertile and 5 maybes. I was expecting it with a new rooster with some of the girls. But saw awesome movement in the ones developing! Got a great video I have no idea how to attach lol
I use the flashlight on my iPhone. I'm not usually so lucky, these eggs are so white and easy to see through. I can't wait to see them as they progress!
I got some white spitzhauben eggs given to me, so couldn't resist candling one a little earlier than normal since it would be so easy to see! So exciting!!!
48 eggs set!
Had a great friend bring me some awesome egg that I can't wait to hatch!
28 Easter Egger
8 Lavender Orpington
6 Spitzhauben
4 Naked Neck
2 Cinnamon Queen
Ahhh! My momma duck has started her nest! She tends to be an overachiever and lays 17-20 before sitting, so fingers crossed she times it perfectly. I think she wanted to join the hatch a long!!
:weee
I was actually thinking that, most likely the full grown hens she bought weren't actually RIR, and probably a sex link. And the striped ones probably came from them and the RIR rooster. I have no idea how mixed breeds work so didn't know if the comb and skin color from the ameraucana would be...
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...
I know she has an ameraucana rooster, and a rir rooster and hens. Then she bought full grown hens she said were rir but I am thinking they probably aren't. The eggs came from her brown chickens. It would be super cool if these were mixed :)
Any idea what kind of chickens I hatched? The eggs were given to me from a lady with big brown layers. I got 2 of the solid brown color, and 3 with the stripes
Thanks guys! I'm not sure how to reply to everybody. The first hatch was I call a success. We had 5 of the 9 that made it to lockdown hatch. I learned a lot along the way!
After candling the quail, it looks like only 34 are viable. I definitely feel like it was an egg storage issue before they...
Hey guys! I've just recently joined the site and thought this would be the place to introduce myself and get to know y'all. We are in eastern Oklahoma and have owned a small flock of chickens for the past 3 years, and quail for the past few months. We just finished our first attempt at...
