Holy cow! There's chicks in the incubator! I am so glad I didn't delay putting them in when the eggs in the bator when they got here.

I am not a happy camper. There is a lot of leakage for a five year breeding project. This seller in NOT getting a good review from me. Half the eggs weren't even fertile and now appearance.

Yup. One is completely black other than feathers, the other is mostly black.

They must have done an out-crossing somewhere.

More than likely.

They're active though, lots of peeps. The third egg might be a quitter, no movement when I candled.

Now you know why I got so frustrated with shipped hatching egg's. You spend all of that money and only get one or two chick's if you are lucky. I'll get chick's from now on if I feel the need to add more gene's.

Well not exactly what you wanted, but they're still cute. Maybe sell them and try again?

No I'm going to keep them. It's not like I'm a serious breeder or anything. The guy got a scathing review though.

I've had good hatch rates before. The Nn eggs I from here in AZ were all fertile and all of them hatched. These came from CA but half were infertile which is horrible to begin with. Even on the eggs from NC the fertility rate was far better and they shipped cross country in summer so...
