Okay! My hatch is complete! Both of the 2 late set/staggered hatch eggs hatched so I had 12 out of 13 hatch! The last one hatched yesterday and it incubated at 62% humidity with no turning for days 16-21. Here are some pics of my Pita Pinta/Langshan cross chicks. Aren't they adorable?!!!

They look the most like a blue Langshan but have some dark markings on their heads and beaks that look like the Pitas. The first one that hatched had black lines under its eyes just like a football player.

First 5 chicks (4 are 3 days old and 1 is 1 1/2 days old)





Final baby just hours old.

omg! cute!

You guys are making me want to get a hatch going! My problem is finding eggs. I have a hen going broody, but am looking for very dark Blue or Black Copper Marans eggs. I saw an auction on here yesterday for some gorgeous Mottled Ameraucana Project eggs, but it was not open to anyone in California...

Thank you! They make me smile! I also had 1 RIR chick hatch from the 4 chicks that you sold me last year. It's cute to see 1 brown chick in with the yellow Bresse chicks and the blue & yellow PP/Langshan mix chicks.

Karen, you're going to get a kick out if this...

I graduated from Chatom in '86. You know that property on the SW corner of Commons and W. Main? My husband and I built that in 2001. We sold it in 2003. We now live on Harding near Santa Fe. So, It looks like we used to be neighbors!!

That poor thread went crazy! But FYI she always does that and has answered the question several times just wasn't around yesterday to answer. I also recomend if you get really dark marans eggs watch the air cells or weigh. Anything over a 7 is a hassle to hatch. I actually aim for 79 as I like to hatch and got all sorts of grief from the 8s.

A new langshan egg from my second batch coming into laying. So pretty!

Very nice eggs!
Is the middle one from your langsham? I don't know much about the breed.

So cute! Was the 62% humidity the whole time? I see different people doing different humidities and curious how they all turn out.

Ok, i'm looking at Brinsea's candlers. I'm a bit confused. Is there 3 different ones? Is Ova View do ok even though it's not the OvaScope? seems like I don't need the scope if i'm in a dark room. Then I see them on Amazon with different names and different prices. I want to be sure I'm not paying top dollar for the cheap one on Amazon too. Are there other great candlers out there?

I use the ovaview High Intensity. Get it from Brinse and find the new discount code from their face book page.

It is great for dark eggs
