After setting three different batches of eggs, I've managed to hatch all cockerals. I'm taking a break from the breed for a bit and have three cockerals to rehome. They all hatched from brown eggs. The oldest - pictured - is about 18 weeks. the other two are just under a week old and 14 weeks...

What do you all think of my roo? He is about 3 months old...

Good point. Hatcheries - even specialty ones like GFF, are larger operations, so I tend to lump them together. When I see a hatchery that describes eggs as tinted, I assume they could be any color. I agree that individual breeder probably follow the guidelines listed in the link, but...

Hmm. I've always associated "tinted" eggs as the verbage used by hatcheries to describe EE eggs. Learn something new everyday.

Some people who got their rhodebars from GFF have reported that they are laying green or "tinted" eggs. Since the parentage of rhodebars includes no breeds that lay tinted eggs, the thought is that perhaps somewhere along the line a legbar got added into their mix. GFF states on their website...

Here's my oldest Rhodebar roo, he's 4 weeks old. I also have a 2 week old roo. Just can't seem to hatch a girl. I'll have to keep trying.

I ended up culling the little female chick last night. Her hock joint wasn't attached correctly, her leg was just limp and she couldn't walk and it was obvious she wasn't going to get better. Has anyone else had this problem? One other person on BYC mentioned she's seen it twice in rhodebars...

The both hatched! One of each! I'm totally shocked! I tried to look in the shells to see if I could see the meat-spot, but by the time I got to the egg I couldn't tell which was which. I'm concerned though, the female (who was in the normal egg) seems to be having problems moving one of...

I candled again today, at day 16 and both Rhodebar eggs are alive and kicking! Starting to get my hopes up that they'll both hatch. Hoping for a pair is probably a stretch, so I'm just hoping for two chicks.

I took a couple of pictures of it, it's kind of hard to see though.

I candled them again this morning, and both have movement! I was concerned about one because I think it had a meat-spot when I got it, a small dark floaty spot. It's been interesting, the spot has been pushed to the edge, and a small "pocket" was built around it. It looks like a small...

I've got two Rhodebar eggs from papa brooder in the incubator, both have veining, tomorrow is day 7!
