Not so much a breed as a description, I guess. They're lavender, they're easter eggers, and they're fibromelanistic. Can't wait to see these guys mature. The parent stock is beautiful.

And here are the fibromelanistic lavender easter egger chicks. Lavenders always look so scraggly young, lol.

My February chicks are doing well. Here are some updated photos of the mixed hatch survivors that the PO played football with. Swedish Flower Hen, Black Olive Egger, Birchen Marans Blue Marans, Silver Campine, Legbar Legbar, Barbezieux, Ayam Cemani

Congrats on your hatches. Shipped eggs are such a gamble. I've hatched anything from 0 to 90% from them, usually directly inversely proportional to the shape the box/eggs arrive in, which makes sense.

I ended up with 6 of 7 from one shipment and 9 from another shipment of the 11 locked down (this group was 27 eggs, but PO managed to rattle them hard enough to break the ends of 9 eggs in transit, dispite foam shippers and nice packing. Of the 18, 11 showed development and 9 hatched...

One out, another egg pipped, a legbar. Come on, winterchickies.:wee

Well, have got 4 pips today of the 11 that developed. They are late, but the power outage certainly contributed to that, I am sure. 1 ayam cemani, 1 olive egger, 1 birchen Marans, 1 black copper Marans. Hoping for more, especially the other cemani eggs and the legbar. :pop

First hatch photos - 6 cute little fuzzle bottoms. Second hatch due today, not seeing any pips and candling development looks behind. :barnie I don't think this hatch faired as well through the frigid power outage, or at least got set back more than the eggs in the smaller incubator. Time...

Swet little fluffy bum. All are puffed up and doing well.

Had 7 shipped eggs from down south, all developed, went through several hours of power outage where our temps were -28*F (house temp dropped to 45) for half a day, but still had peepers this morning. 6 out and fluffing up, one egg shows no pip (candled developed but no movement seen following...

I see movement still in some. They are far enough along but is hard to see much. Fingers crossed!

It was -28 this am when the power went out. My eggs were 7 and 10 days to hatch. Will see if any survive. House got below 50 pretty quick. Sadness. Time will tell. Got incubators back on now. Chicks are a week old, had to bring everyone close to fire. Not ideal but they stayed warm...

I've got two bunches incubating: 7 lovely blue-green eggs from Lavender Fibromelanistic Easter Eggers (7 of 7 shipped eggs show development, woot!) due to hatch in 9 days. 11 mixed breeds of eggs including 3 Ayam Cemani, a couple Marans, a couple Legbar, and others due to hatch in 12 days...
