16 eggs, 3 species, 1 homemade incubator: Will it be done?

The rooster was my breeding rooster, but he never bred because my sole hen never laid.
I won't be keeping any of these cockerels because I don't want mixed breed chicks.

You do know that it is not normal for a chicken to not lay eggs right?

Gotcha. I should send you some of my Bantam Cochin eggs. Those roosters are hilarious looking - they are like rooster balls. Plus, their leg feathers rub together when they run so you can hear them coming. Like feather culottes (worst fashion trend EVER).

Are you in Seattle? I might be going up this summer and I’d be elated to buy some Cochin eggs, they’re my favorite breed.

My Cochin bantam doesn’t lay eggs. Every time she tries she goes broody.

No I didn't. She hasn't laid in the 1.5+ years I've had her

What color? I might take some. I love Cochins.

What breed is she? Did you get her as an adult or chick?

She's a D'Uccle
I got her as an approximately 1 year old adult.

Then she should be laying. You sure there isn’t a hidden nest?

Positive. She lives in a chicken tractor with grass floor. She can't go anywhere.

Weird.
