I hope every one of those babies is out by morning, Angie. I'm off to bed, though. It's been a stressful day. Nite.

Hey Miss Prissy how ya doing this morning, I hope all are well and that they have popped like popcorn for ya.

I was on another thread and thought of you. I am getting eggs from a local woman Saturday and she was telling me that she has been experimenting with sexing the eggs. I had never heard of this so I asked her how ya do that (as I thought of you and your 99% roo problem LOL). She said that if you pick the rounder or very oval eggs they are suppose to be hen's, the pointed ones are suppose to be roo's. If ya think about it the roo's are long and thin the hens are more round kind of makes sense. She went on to say she has been trying this for 2 years and has a 98% hen ratio.

I thought that maybe this would be a good project for the board. What do ya think anyone want to work on this project LOL

By the way my "Designer Chickies" are pipping I have 3 out of 39 on the go

Happy Hatching

14 bbs orp eggs started - 12 made it to day 18 - 6 are pipped, 1 almost fully zipped.

11 buff orp eggs started - 8 made it to day 18 - 5 are out, 3 almost fully zipped, 1 pipped.

These are very strong and vigorous chicks, Jody!! I am tickled with them!

So far they have hatched clean!

The bbs orps are taking their own sweet time!!
