Fertile eggs?

[NatJ]

I ment like a darker shade of green then most EE lay. Since its got another brown gene added in. I ment light olive as in a grayish green. Not as in an olive egger.

I'm not sure what shade "most" Easter Eggers lay, but I would expect yours to be somewhere in the same range as many other Easter Eggers. Obviously, I could be wrong, but that's what I would expect.

Ah, it probably will. But at times the extra gene adds more brown into the egg shell, making it apear more gray.

Okay, on other news all the eggs I put under the second hen are fertile. One apeared to behind the rest so I removed it. I put extra eggs because how bad the fertility was before… I don’t need 5 chicks, nor do I want 5 chicks.


But I dont want to remove anymore, incase they are my females. So all I can do is hope for more than one rooster. (We are probably going to eat the roos, or sell them depending on how many we get, and how pretty they are.) On even better news, my white egg is fertile! Hoping for a female chick out that egg! I realy want a light colored EE. Before anyone gets confused, the white egg came from a white leghorn. So white feathers are in this chicks future.

All I know is, theres a buff orpington egg, white leghorn egg, golden laced wyndotte egg, and a black sexlink egg. The rest will become obvious after hatch. (The black sexlink will be the only black bird as my other black breed cant make a good egg shell. (She just cant proses calcium.)

hatch day is the 26-27th. Hoping that at lest one of them stops developing (not the white one though, really want the white one to hatch)

By most I ment like a mix of sea foam and jade green. Its what they mostly lay, it could be anywhere on that spectrum. I ment the mix here will be little past the jade in hue.

I know I allready said this but, This chick is just as active as they where in the egg, poor mamma, this chick is pecking/biting his/her mamma. But thats normal, at least all the chicks I’ve hatched did that. They also are running in actual circles around the poor hen. On other news, we got our first poop! And all looks good! No signs of sickness, or poopy butt, so we are good there. Hoping this chicks a female so I can keep this energetic little cotton ball.

Heres the white egg under the second hen.

Dont mind the pink egg basket. Looking good so far.

And the little one still looks as heathly as ever, and energetic. One more day, and we are in the clear for them. (Someone told me chicks normally randomly die in the first three days, If they look good and healthy the first three days they are probably good.)

The white egg is doing fantastic, just as energetic as patches (oh no) well thats a good thing, hopefully they have a strong will to live. One of the eggs on the othee hand does not seem to have the will to live, looks like a blood ring. (Can’t show pictures as I have to use my phone camera to see it) and it was in my SLW egg.. but at least the other four are looking good.

Why did I say “Oh no” before, well patches tends to try and jump from my hand when I am carrying them out-side. (Supervised) and runs away from mom to go expore, before being reminded they need to follow her. Heres some pictures of patches

Looks to be a false alarm on the blood ring one. As I see heathly veins now. Its day 7 now, 13 more days until the hatch starts.
