Just be patient . I set my eggs on the 15th. The last OE that hatched was a surprise. I thought I was done, then I found him after I got home from work yesterday. Of all the eggs that hatched, I only saw movement in one egg when I candled before putting them in lock down. The others, the...

I think my hatch is complete. They started to hatch Wednesday night. Here are some pics. I had five Silkies, three EE/OEs, and one Cream Legbar - my first ever. Of 11 that went to lockdown, 9 hatched. This was from a total of 27 eggs, half were shipped eggs. Of the 13 shipped eggs, only...

I set 20 eggs on the 15th, and five on the 16th. I have seven Basques, six cream legbars, seven EEs (possibly lav ams), and seven Silkies. Here they are. I thought I had only 25, but just recounted. 27 total, lol. The Silkies may not be fertile, but we'll know when I candle next week. Half...
