My first hatch of the season, and the pipping has begun. 2 of the SS and one of the sex-link crosses are just starting to pip. My 'breeds' are:
Speckled Sussex X SS, or Blue Orpington
NH x SS or Blue Orp
Easter Egger x SS or Orp
Black sex-link x EE
I'm hoping to be able to tell who the dad was by color, as I think my Orp roo should produce only blue, black, or splash babies. Not 100% positive, though. I set 20 eggs and pulled 2 clears a few days ago. The rest looked good as far as I could tell. Will post pics when I can
