this xthe egg i was concerned about. could what looks like a crack just be part of the spolotches? You can see the dark part of the aircell i was talking about

They don not look like cracks. I would let it go but keep and eye on it.

So could what im seeing just be part of the splotching? I ran my finger over it and didnt feel any crack so hopefully its just part of the egg.

Here's a couple from my hatch. They were here and now in new homes. Didn't have the best hatch, but think it was due to my rooster in every 3-4 days. He was being too rough. I thought that was enough time. I got 10 out of 15 or 16 eggs. 1 was an early quitter, the other were clear

And Darn that Brinsea for making EVERYTHING that bright yellow and black!! They make it impossible for new products to blend into surroundings and my husband notices everything new! Got the brooder. Love it, but man I can't get anymore of their stuff anytime soon. Too much explaining to do to DH

How totally adorable! What kind of chicks are they?

It does look like that. Sometimes the bloom causes stuff like that.

Hmm i didnt know that. What could be causing the dark in the aircell then?

Thank you PetRock. Those two in the pic are Black Copper and Splash Marans. Had all 3 colors with this group. A couple Lav AM/ Marans crosses too. Those ones looked to be black, but from an earlier post I learned Blue was also a possibility. They had the markings just like the black marans here, but with muffs and the AM comb.

Can you tell I am looking forward to it?

Also looking forward to seeing folks in Modesto in a few weeks.

Okay before I go away another plea for help. Denny Lotsapaints wants a bantam Ameracuana rooster. She thinks the little eggs are cute & has a few little hens. I'm in Turlock & she is in Paso Robles. Somewhere where either of us can get him would be fine.
Thanks
Karen

You can try Chickenlady099 in Antalope, California who raises bantam wheaten Ameraucanas. I am going to be trading some d'Anver eggs for some of her bantam Ameraucana eggs in the near future.

Thank you everyone for the tomato plant advice! I'm planting `em in the chicken range! Maybe the big round tomatoes will distract them from the blueberries! I'm such a dreamer!

it won't be a ssue. they stay away from the green parts for the most part. Now they will scratch around the roots so have the plants caged or you can also get some of those mulch matts that lay on the ground with a hole for the trunk. That will keep the roots and crown safe
