Out of 20 shipped eggs only this hatch and in that 20 eggs I oreder from man who have Orpington, EE , australop.. etc.. but I think they are all mixed in same yard.

Going to have to wait a while to determine if it's a crossbred or purebred.

Thanks I appreciate your coments I have one more question for you.. so if I collect egg for incubator how long after chicken mate with rooster will she produce fertile egss , I ask because I have one hen thy lives spearate from the flock... And I want put her eggs in incubator too. I sometimes put rooster with her and they mate I see. I somewere read that sperm travels a week to the Spot where is fertilisation starred? Do you know anything about it

 

[Gray Farms]

Hens can retain sperm from a single breeding for 30 to 35 days to fertilize their eggs.
