Hi Gander, what color eggs do the Russian Orloff lay? and what about the Molten Houdans? I'm assuming the EE's are probably blue or green.

set 41 eggs, 17 made it to lock down. 6 hatched. I opened the 4 of mine that were still in the incubator. 2 were infertile, & the other 2 had fully formed chicks that had died. There are still 7 more eggs in the incubator, but I don't think they will do anything. If I'm wrong I'll update this...

Hi Rad, sorry you lost 2 of your chicks. I hate when that happens. Hopefully the last one will miraculously turn up unharmed.

a friend asked me, just tonight, when I will be hatching eggs again. She wants me to hatch some of hers for her, so I'll be adding those to my HAL eggs.

I am hoping to have some of my own Black Penedesenca eggs to hatch for the HAL. But currently only 1 of the 2 pullets is laying. They both were for a while, but when I had to move one of the pullet/cockerel pair, the pullet quit laying. She had been laying for a couple of months! I think her...
