Just an update, I hatched 4 chick close to Halloween. Punkin, Sugar, and Foxy all girls. I re-homed them to a family that had 2 little girls. Casper ended up being a boy. He is cooped with some chickens one month older than he is. They accepted his friendship, no questions.
I put up a pic of her egg (top)before but the color was not coming in well enough to see, this pic seems to show the color alright, white behind my hand is snow. The egg looks and is gray, in her case it is the bloom, I have had solid gay eggs with out it being the bloom. I like the color so I...

Fun! I am on day 15 with 7 eggs and one is ahead of the others. They are from a healthfood store, (one is from my flock.) The store got their eggs locally. My neighbor 1 mile from my house. I also have some from my own coop due on the 7th.
8 eggs were fertile- due on the 27th. One died on day 10, and one is the Triple yolk some people are probably following. (currently day 13.) most are health food store eggs, I have more that are due the 7, that are from my newly laying hens.
