they were supposed to be bbs orpingtons, looks like a lot of splash.

I got a Sportsman 1502 Digital. I can't wait to try it! I am going to try dry hatch, next, but I want to wait a couple weeks because my brooder will be in use for the next 5 weeks or so!

This is my little Marans - I love the feathered legs!
By the way, I did open a couple of the eggs and they were fully developed, but never pipped.

Yep it made it!! it was the one that struggled for hours to beak through the membrane after it zipped, it had quit trying. I took it out and went into the steamy bathroom and used surgical scissors to cut the membrane just enough for the top to almost come off, about 3/4 of the way off. then put it in the incubator and let it do the rest.

Good luck!!

Babies!!! Oh the feathered legs are so cute!! I just realized that one of mine has some feathers on the legs, that means its from my cochin, woo hoo!!

So jealous of the sportsman!! All in all I am pretty happy with my LG, I did a dry hatch this time and this I will do it again. My humidity ran at about 18%-25% up until lockdown. I am very happy with my results .

bbs = blue/black/splash
