Learned my lesson Fred. Haven't caught the Nelson pullet laying but a few might be hers in the new batch (every dog gone egg for several days plus some EE in there). So will have several mutts and hopefully some of hers to perfect my skills. I know for sure one is the older Kittle RIR... caught...
Even the little silver chick is fun. It was first hatched and such a sweetie. The RIR cockerel is the dad and one of my white rocks the mum. I have yet to see if it was RIR/rock mutt or the old white rock.

Wow Bee! Congrats! Been a long read and I forgot half of it but if didn't overlook something all but one hatched healthy and only two (accident loss and last hatcher) made it right?
Now how is everyone? This was so cool.;)
