I'm using a cockerel for this first breeding that was born 2/12, so this is my first time to see how he does.

Are you following me!?!LOL j/k.
I know I am super excited to get them. It's sad it didn't work out for us our first year, but maybe it was for the better as they were all mixed colors as well and not to SOP and now we can start over with true lines.
Out of 52 eggs, all 17 Delaware eggs were clears. He set 35 Dork eggs. 14 were not fertile. 6 quit early. 15 developed but only 9 hatched alive. 2 of those had difficulty getting out of the shell.
I have not had a chance to see how these would do with a broody. I had some dummy eggs in the coop and the hens did not show any inclination to set. My hens tend to get broody in the heat of the summer for some reason. I'm using a cockerel for this first breeding that was born 2/12, so this is my first time to see how he does.
Their diet has been a mixture of Layena and a rooster ration that includes fish meal, plus Calf Manna since last molt. I would think that would cover all the nutritional needs.
I can never get close enough fast enough during their mating to see if the mechanics are working.
