I just took my eggs out of the turner for day 18 today. My phones been dead all day so I wasn't able to candle any of them. I need to do that tonight as soon as I can so I don't get any dead eggs making a mess in there. I attempted to separate my eggs as much as I could by type too. I'd like to know which ones came from which egg. But I don't know if it's going to work.
 
Looks like the majority of my chicks are going to be blue like my easter egger rooster. I have at least 8 now & 5 of those are blue Easter Eggers.

It's a bit late for me to join in on the fun but I'm going on a mini road trip with my friend next week to pick up hatching eggs! (Maybe I need to find a June hatch along!:D)
lol, I currently have an incubator filled with goose eggs right now and I'll be picking up Mottled Orpingtons, Silver Sebrights, Mallard Ducks, Whiting's True Blues, and a few Crested Cream Legbars! :wee
I just hatched these sweeties a few days ago! Blue/Black/Splash Marans and Crested Cream Legbars. :love:jumpy

Oh yeah! My broody White Leghorn (Yes I realize they aren't supposed to go broody but nobody told her, lol) hatched out some Speckled Sussex as well!

I'd love to have a broody leghorn. I gave some lavender cockrells to a friend who has leghorn hens last fall. She promised me eggs for my next hatch.

She's proving to be a great mother hen too! How exciting about the eggs, I've never seen a Lavender Leghorn! I'm getting an Exchequer Leghorn pullet from a friend next week though! I have actually really loved Leghorns, and not even just because they're great layers. I was told they would be flighty but this same hen flies up on my shoulder and rides around when she's not busy raising chicks. I guess they are a bit more like the cats of the chicken world, they come to you when they want affection and would otherwise be appalled by cuddles that are attempted out of turn. lol, Whereas I can carry my Orpingtons around like a purse and they could care less. :lau
