EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

These are current plans I'm hoping to get my flock to in the next few years... I'm aiming to eventually have Chanteclers make up a decent portion of my flock, if they seem to be a good fit pour moi.

Breeds:
Chickens:

OEGB:
Jace
Lucky

Sultan: 2018
Zoey
Hazel
+ 2 hens, 1 cock
[Separate pen]

Chanteclers:
+ 5 hens, 1 cock

Australorp:
+ 3 hens

Svarthöna: 2019
Kari
Torvi [if pullet]
+ 1-2 more hens

Brahma:
+ Less than 5

Other:
Abi, Wellie OE
Jazzy & Sunshine, EE x sultan
Bella, mutt

Ducks:

Welsh Harlequin:
Chrissy
+ 1 drake

Cayuga:
+ 1 hen

Silver Appleyard:
+ 1 hen

'Scovy:
+ 1-2 hens

Ancona:
+ 1-2 hens

Call:
+ 1 drake

Going to keep sultans in separate pen for purebreds and possibly furthering EE x Sultan project. Rest of birds go in 144ft2 coop; hatch replacements as needed and try to stay under 40 birds. In case this is brought against moi in future years, I said try!

That's all?

Welllll, as we all know there is no way I can possibly stay down to two games, and 6 chanteclers is not near enough... But I figured starting slow would be best. Plus there's no way I am gonna resist the runners at the feed store. They're also straight run, so I'll need at least five to get enough females. And while I'm there I might as well see if they have sultans in.
