Egg Breed?

[Clucker86]

I am incubating for the first time and ordered 12 mixed eggs online unfortunately only 11 arrive intact. My question is can anybody identify what breed of chicken will hatch from these eggs?

Any guess would be just that - a guess. Did the seller indicate any possibilities ? The small egg is most likely a bantam.

there are many chickens that lay those color eggs so we can only guess. I'd wait till the chicks hatch and grow there feathers in then we can guess the crosses.

Seramas, Polands, Sussex, Bantams, New Hampshire, Pekins or Wyndottes. I thought maybe they might be identifiable by the shape size or colour of the eggs.

Humm, Interesting question. Not having ever mail-ordered hatching eggs I would be interested in your experience of doing so. Who did you order your hatching eggs from? Do they offer a catalog? What motivated you to choose them as opposed to another? The other day I read a review of a hatchery that marked the breed of eggs they shipped. Sorry I can't help you definitely identify the breeds you received. It seems to me, the number one question among poultry enthusiasts is, "Is it a hen or a rooster?" I did come across an interesting project in the Netherlands called Project In Ovo that is developing a way to identify the sex of a chicken before it hatches. Hens are far more valuable than roosters and here is why.

thanks for your question.
