Yes I did. I thought I would past my enjoyment of this breed to others. I have eggs in my incubator now. I hated to try to hatch this late in the year, but I wanted some babies. I have 48 eggs in the incubator. Only half are mine. If I get alot of chicks, I will have some for sell. The other eggs are mixed brown layers from down the road. She wanted to see if her boys had what it takes. I candled them lastnight. Looked like I only have four not growing at all, but those were all the other eggs. She has over 80 hens and only 4 roosters. So, they are busy boys. But I did see eggs from both groups that look like they stopped growing. I knew that might be a chance, because our power was out for about 3 hours. I didn't know it until I got home. I wasn't a happy camper. But that was only 5 eggs. So out of 48 eggs, it looks like 39 are still doing great. I just hope they do good for the last week. This is my second time hatching since I was a child. It is a new learning experience. I am hoping to get some blues from my rooster. Since he is my only blue, I wanted some others just incase. It took me forever to get him. I also have a hen on 12+ eggs. I am hoping she is going to hatch out some too. I just hope one way or another I will get some chicks.
