I have a question for all you egg color experts out there. My little EE's should start laying any day now, and I'm trying to figure out their chances of laying a colored egg. I will probably have to sell a couple of them (due to my downsizing), and I want to make sure I let people know their chances of getting a colored egg. These are the ones that I hatched from my Salmon Favorolles roo, and my hatchery EE. She (mom) laid a bright blue egg. The pullets all have pea combs (I know this isn't a guarantee of carrying the blue gene). So my understanding is that most EE's carry 1 blue egg gene, and one other color gene (brown, white). So If that EE was crossed with the SF does that mean that the pullets only have a 75% chance of laying blue? One of the girls:

She's pretty!

I have a web cam and use a free streaming service called Ustream. I streamed the my hatch for the New Years Day Hatch a Long.

A lot of people watched it to.

Okay on the second try for hatching eggs its so far so good the temp stayed stable through the night as far as i know. im trying a bit of a different approach this time. i edited my method for covering the bator at night and its keeping a more stable temp so hopefully it keeps like this.
also only 11 more days before i get my chicks in the mail yayyyyyyy xD

So do i. if they do hatch can they be put in with the other chicks we are getting? Ideally they would hatch around the 6th of march and the chicks we are getting from cackle hatchery are due here the 26th of feb

Are the Cackle chicks bantams? If the eggs in the incubator are bantams adding them to older large chicks the bantams are more likely to be injured IMHO. I have raised them together but they were the same age.
