Congrats to all the peeping pipping and hatching...
I have 3- breeding pens of eggs in, so far only the eggs from pen #2 is piped zipped and 1 has hatched (out of 4). Now before picking my breeding trios I looked at the chicken calculator on Blue on buff orps and saw they will be 50% black and 50% blue. Now the one that hatched is buff the one that is zipped appears to be buff so "WHAT THE FRENCH TOAST" something went wrong. The other eggs not doing anything are Blue on Blue and Black on Blue so if they come out buff I think I will FREAK....lol. It's really know big deal just building up my Blue orp. line and Buff doesn't help.
My blue sumatras are hatching black or white currently. I got about 50% blue last year. I still have a few more eggs to go but I was hoping for lots of blues. The white one is cute in its own way. Looks like snow. If I can sell it to a family with a girl child, I'm sure it will get named after a frozen character.
