Well, I put 9 Silkie eggs, and 1 egg from a Aracuna, and bantam rooster, under my broody Silkie hen. I candled them yesterday, and all are fertile, even the large hen/ bantam rooster eggs.

I thought that bantams and standards couldnt mate. Interesting! So I wonder what the chick will look like.

They are due to hatch on July 22nd.
 
Oh those wittle bantam fellows can mate with the big girls!!

I've had it happen.

I hatched out a suprise from either a standard sized brown egg or a green/blue egg (my bet is on the brown egg). I have barred rocks, a rir, and a buff orpington that lay brown eggs. The baby that hatched was feather footed! Which means my black cochin or black frizzle cochin rooster got lucky with one of the big girls! lol

It was funny, I did a complete double take when I saw that chick in the incubator!
