Change of plans

[Auntiejessi3]

Just candled the maticoopx eggs and boy am I glad I left them all in, all of Dahlia's (English Orp) eggs are developing, pulled all 3 of Prue's, 1 of Sansa's, and 1 of Onyx's (infertile)

Candled the eggs in the second incubator, Langdon is not breeding Zoey or Judith (the second doesn't surprise me, we'll just say she's "difficult" to keep things clean) pulled those 8. I really need to know if Zoey is dominant white, if she's not I'm selling her. She's a pretty bird, but that's about all she has going for her in my book.

A few quick updates, the 3 legbar/Bielefelder pullets (I think 1 is a legbar, the other 2 are probably mixes of the 2) they're staying, I'm selling Zoey and Judith. Cersei's littles are 2 weeks old and doing great! They wonder off all the time and I think it makes her nuts Cordelia laid a cool ass egg today, and Fiona is still laying these blah eggs, idk Last but not least, Langdon showing a couple ladies a great place to lay, always a gentleman

Zoey has gone broody She's supposed to be going to her new home with Judith this weekend, I messaged the gentleman to let him know, just waiting on a response. If they don't want them I've got 3 other people in line. 5 days left on the maticoopx eggs, 10 on the dry hatch eggs (with all the rain and humidity we've been having it hasn't dropped below 39% and has gotten as high as 52%) air cells are on track with great development.

Did one last candle on the maticoopx eggs and put them in lockdown. All 13 look good!

How many incubators do you have? You going to pop in some of those Wheaten Marans? Haha

I have 2 now since I threw away the NR360 after the last hatch (the temperature swings were way to much.) And yes, I'm going to start collecting their eggs today, so I'll probably set them next Friday

Chicks due to hatch Friday:
7- English Orpington/Wheaten Marans mix
2- F2 OE's (F1 OE/Wheaten Marans)
4- Blue Wheaten OE's (Splash Wheaten Ameraucana/Wheaten Marans)

Some pics from today. One of these generational OE's has a partridge pattern, hard to see but I did my best.

We have our first pip y'all!
