Ron - you are Rolling - keep er going
Kathy - glad to hear you will keep the Del line going and may your health issues be over quick with favorable results
UPDATE
on the Broody sisters- Left to go out of town yesterday and both were out of nest - checked egg temp and 60 degrees - they were on nest last night
but egg temps this AM was 59 degrees and they were off nest - So I think they have given up this hatch- the have been on nest since first of March so they gave it a good shot.To bad there were no fertile eggs available when they started They are now back to the breeding group . I did check all the eggs and 14 of 18 were fertile. These Eggs were a mixture of F4s , Redline Dels , PNHs and EEs
Have 12 F5 eggs and 12 other mix ready and cranking up the Bator Sunday.
Mother Nature is amazing isn't she ?

We don't know - its a well kept trade secret - I ask but just can't get them to tell me. Might have to try water boarding or something to get the info .LOLWell I set 8 del. eggs under my ameracuana hen three days ago. Today she kicked out two of them. I checked and they were not fertile. Now how did she know?
