Thats great news Cyn....I have my one week olds....and was going to let the bator rest. Well....2 days after I got it all cleaned up, and ready to pack away...my broody decided..she was done!

So, I had to take her eggs, and put them in the baotr. Only problem is....I dont remember when she started!

Guess I will candle in a few days, and try to make a guess.

Here's the list:
Tuesday, Dec 18, is Day Five for these:

3 Barred Rock (one is a fertility test, one a fertility re-test)
8 Blue Orpington
3 Blue Orp/Buff Brahma (hey, everybody else has 'em!)
1 Blue Orp/Lt. Brahma (fertility test again for Miranda)



Tuesday, Dec 18, is Day Two for these:

4 Blue Orpingtons
11 Barred Rocks (10 are from helmstead's flock)
2 Ameraucanas

For a grand total of 32 eggs, although several I do not expect to be fertile. I need the Orpingtons and Barred Rocks the most, my main two breeds. I'll be incubating some Welsummers, Blue Laced Red Wyandottes and Blue Orps from a completely different line in the spring, possibly also some Buff Orps from Jody, as well.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a lot of pullets from the blue orps....so I can get some from you in the future!!

No, Henry, I won't be breeding them, just hatching a few dark egg layers for the flock. Of course, I said, no I won't be breeding Ameraucanas, just getting some blue egg layers for the flock. We all know how that turned out, LOL.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Hope the hatch goes well and your hatch percent is high (100%?)!

Where are you getting your Welsummer eggs? I'm very interested in some good quality eggs, maybe you can hook me up with your contact?

Making a "horse trade" with a friend for eggs from her Welsummers. She got them from mothergoose on BYC (Christie Ritter). She has beautiful stock, nice dark eggs.
