I have white chanteclers ....a couple my hens lay pure white eggs. Most are cream coloured and some are a light brown. They are a good eating sizes size by 4-5months. The roosters get along great the first year. The second year some get more territorial...i cul those and keep the gentler ones...

Good question, i'd love to know the answer as well

So update. 4 ameraucana from batch one and 7 easter eggers from batch 2. Awefull numbers compared to my usual.

Can't get over it...3 more out and still some peeps. This is so weird.

My eggs due before easter i got 4 ameraucana out of 2 dozen eggs bought...very dispointing.

Wow, very thorough. Definitly learnt some stuff.

Colour generator? Where is it :)?

I've seen the same issue with my ameraucana eggs I had shipped. I'm on day 24 only 10 out of 40 chicks out. I had to through out 6 eggs cus the development stopped early. Only a few a day hatched. Out of the 10 hatched so far one died from flipping on it's back. Another keeps flipping on it's...

Awesome advice. Just fixed my chick's hernia with the aid of this thread and post. Here hoping it makes it through the night. Thanks

7 out so far....more to come. Can't wait for the rest.

None yet but I candled a few before lock down and it looked very promising. Getting anxious.

I watched several videos in that regard and during candling you'll be able to see the air cell if there's development. So if there's an air cell it's a keeper. I have a few Barnevelder mixes and that's what I relied on.

I added eggs to my incubator yesterday. Is it too late to include those in the count

I do deep litter in my coop for the winter and now that things are thawing out water will sit at the door as its a lower spot. I keep the rest of the coop built up and it works well and doesn't stay damp. I make sure I add a layer of bedding every week. I alternate between straw and shavings...

I found a thread that goes over the issue if anyone is interested. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/eating-infertile-eggs-in-the-incubator.136566/

Heres a question that may sound stupid but here goes.....if you've had the eggs in the incubator for a few days and candle them to see if they are indeed developing. ...I would assume that it's not OK to eat the ones that show no sign of development?

Please add me. I set my eggs today. Spent all day yesterday playing with the heat setting to get it just right. Hope I get a good hatch rate. I didn't candle this batch as I checked some a while back to see if they were getting fertilised. My roosters have been busy so here's hoping. Sadly...
