First time incubating

[Courtkneekp]

I’ve got 2 small incubators going with mostly OE(FBCM Roo over EE hens) eggs going. For funsies we threw in a few white leghorn eggs and Cemani eggs(both under the same roo).

We just hit day 7, and 16 of the 18 are developing well. Sadly 2 of the 3 Cemani eggs were empty.

This is our first time hatching, and I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas of what the leghorn or Cemani mixes could look like? Also I just really wanted to document our first hatch

pictures of parents below.

With such contrasting colors such as the white leghorn and ayam cemani, you can't really tell how the chicks will end up colored as. I think they will be black with white streaks on their little bodies. Maybe a little like Mottled Javas. Some might be one solid color, but I'm sure there will be variations in the patterns. I haven't seen these two breeds mixed together, so don't quote me on it, but it's just what I think. Make a new post when they hatch so we can see these beautiful babies!

Oh I may have worded it weird inadvertently! I’m sorry! I have a FBCM roo over EE hens, a Cemani hen, and a white leghorn hen. A friend of mine is incubating Cemani/leghorn mixes though, so I’ll try to snag some pictures lol

This is so exciting for you! We're also on our first hatch with an incubator, but have hatched with a broody Pekin for three years running. We're on day 14 and are looking forward to pips! We have only put 6 of our own Pekin eggs in it, to give it a try. As far as we can see, 5 are developing!

That's amazing! Congrats and I hope all of your chicks hatch and grow up to be wonderful!
