I've kept an eye and way back when even
I'm all over this thread. Also would like breeds and pics etc....
If it is favorable, I will hatch a set. I have a control group going right now.... In fact I may go ahead and do a cold group to see my results lol
This is fascinating.
Let me hear back with what you get.
I have been hatching eggs lately this is the 4th batch in a roll. The oldest ive hatched mid November, I expect to start laying in maybe in a month or so. But most chicks were for selling and were sold. Then I'm planning to sell off my laying hens gradually and replace with some of these new. But I only started the experiment with the cold eggs on the 19th Feb with a dozen refrigerated eggs. But these ones I have been hatching I have been documenting exactly which chicken hatched what egg. Then marking the chick as it hatches. I have pinpointed 3 hens that seem to give female off spring each time but the youngest bunch will tell more when I'm sure of gender. There is a total of 8 hens mixed breed that I'm using eggs from. Some are mine some are a friends because I'm only using large eggs. I will share my findings and pictures starting there.
