Hi everyone! Let’s celebrate Independence Day with a hatch along! These eggs have been put in the incubators in staggered intervals, so they are set to hatch from July 2nd-July 8th.
I was so blessed to win the BYC cutest chick photography contest a few weeks ago, and my prize was an incredible Brinsea Maxi 24EX Connect. I hadn’t been planning to set more eggs this summer, but I am dying to try out the new incubator!!
I also had one of my most prized pullets pass away last week. She wasn’t yet laying
but when I lose a bird, it does make me want to set eggs even more. So I have set almost everything laid since then. Including some pullet eggs to see how they do, as an experiment. So there is a lot going on with a new incubator and new layers.
I have an overflow incubator for all the eggs that wouldn’t fit in the Brinsea Maxi 24EX Connect.
Please let me know if you would like an egg or a few to root for! Since the hatch will occur around July 4th, pick any name having to do with America!
(please no politics!) Some ideas are: State Names, Freedom Themes, Constitution/Bill of Rights phrases, National favorites, red white & blue, patriotic songs, etc. There are tons of eggs, so get creative!
The eggs were set in their number order so the lower numbers will hatch first.
These eggs have lavender silkie roos as their fathers. So the eggs from silkies will be purebred. The blue eggs will be 3/4+ silkie. I will write the breed of the mom next to the egg. If it says F1, that means a first gen cross of silkie/ameraucana bantam. F2 is an hen that has one silkie parent and one F1 parent so they are 3/4 silkie. All eggs are blue/green unless they say silkie, or tan next to them!
