Of 7 eggs set in my Brinsea Mini Advanced 3 hatched Easter Sunday 1 pip and died and one almost hatched but died 2 were quitters. Ugh so disappointed. Of the 3 that hatched I did get 1 lavender Mottled English Orpington out of my trio of Black Mottled English Orpingtons
I'm thinking about trying my hand and some Guinea eggs but don't wanna tie up my incubator for a few Guinea eggs would like to add some of my Orpington eggs also. Besides the longer hatch time for guinea eggs. Should I stagger when I set the guinea eggs then a few days later add chicken eggs or...
I'm also in interested in these guys I contacted Ideal and am thinking about getting 5 or 6 they said I could possibly get them as soon as next week.
How do these guys do in a mixed flock other than being flighty are they good natured?
I've recently become interested in trying to possibly help preserve this breed.
I want to hear about their attitude and how hardy these birds are in cold weather living in WNY cold hardy birds are important to me.
So let's hear and show off your standard Spanish chickens!
