Oh, yeah...
Here's my "surprise" baby:

My best guess is - could be mille fleur d'uccle?
It's from chickenzoo, so it has to be a breed she has.

Oh............ one of my famous mystery eggs, LOL.... I believe it to be a Partridge Bantam Cochin Frizzle or Bantam Cochin.

I think the I stood for "I don't remember" ....

LOL!
Its name is "Surprise."
S/he better be a partridge cochin. I've been wanting one for quite some time now. I don't care much for frizzles, so I'm hoping s/he's smooth feathered!

Way to go Mags!!!!! Just wait until those 5 little buggers keep you up all night with that loud PEEEEEEP!

 

[MagsC]

Sigh. Lost one so far.

But two are doing very well and there is hope for the other two. One seems to have something wrong with its legs so I am going to look up the post on taping them?
But as I was bummed and didnt think I was hatching ANY, two makes me happy if that is the way it goes.
I do want to do this again.

Great pics Paganbird! You always take good pictures, anything I ever try to take with this cell phone doesnt turn out the greatest, but then I am not a good photographer either,lol.
Oh, they are already keeping me up with their PEEEEEEEEP!!

Keep me posted on the hatch! ;-)

I'm putting some white cochin bantams in the incubator tonight. And setting some call duck eggs under one of my broody hens tomorrow. Wish me luck!

 

[MagsC]

Best of luck to you Scott!!!

With the call duck eggs, have you ever had luck with them in an incubator? I have some blue bibbed call eggs supposed to be here at some point and going to give it a shot.

No, I use a hen to incubate call duck eggs... they're just more reliable than an incubator. So for valuable eggs, I stick to the hens.
