So finally I can post my initial hatch. One lonely white chick, offspring from the 2 yr old peach BS hen I imported in the spring. She is currently held in a misfits pen, undergoing continued quarantine till I decide who she is going to be bred with next year. Father is likely a BS w/e or a cameo split peach, but I'm leaning toward the BS male, as I'm pretty certain he was out of a pen that produced charcoal sp. Of the first 50 eggs, my fertility for two yr old males continues to disappoint, with a mere 40% fertility. I have a beauty bssp male with a great tail, 12 eggs from the 5 yr old bronze hen, with 0 fertile. I also have a 2 yr old BS male split to multiple colours that I'm getting 90%+ fertility and he's in with three hens (1 four yr old and 2 two yr olds). At least the latter male hasn't disappointed, I'm hoping for a prosperous hatch from him.
