well the Blue fcm hen seems to have the best hatch rate and I am pretty sure you got mostly her eggs as they are the lighest of all the girls. My ratio of males to females seems to be about 50/50 here at the house so I got my fingers crossed for you. And the 2 blue Marans I have hatched out are both pullets.

Hey Natalie are the 2 of your FBCM eggs that are developing the lighest ones? if so that is most likely my blue hen and hopefully will hatch.

Good Luck both of you!

OK, now I have a grand dilemma!!!! My blrw hen has gone broody! Do I take some eggs from the 'bator and put them under her??????????? I hate dilemmas!

 

[LovinMyPeeps]

Can you guaruntee she'll stay broody? I have a chantecler hen that I thought was going broody the other day so I let her keep the little clutch, then she decided she wasn't broody anymore LOL. Fickle little beast

I wouldnt take the chance. My bo hen went breeody for two weesk then stopped out of no where-I was tempted to set eggs with her but it was too cold out and Im glad I didnt

 

[1mommahen]

OK, I won't! She's been trying for a week and I keep kicking her out of the box!

She only started laying last month!

Thanks everybody!

I could not see as well into the Olive eggers from Sonew but I think I saw air sacs in each one! Time will tell!

Awesome for you!! That is very possitive

Did you see movement? I was shocked to see the little dark spot moving around

Tonight, I took out 6 clear ones and I had two quitters. Out of 43 I am down to 35. Not bad, I think.
