GFF's First Hatch of 2011 Thread

[greenfamilyfarms]

Our first hatch of 2011 is about to start. We are a little late getting started this year due to an experiment in hatching a couple of emu eggs (another story).

Going in tomorrow morning:
12 Silver Sussex Splits (to Light Sussex) - Ordered 10, sent 2 extras. Nice, large brown eggs.

Going in next week:
10 Coronation and Split Coronation Sussex
10 Lemon Cuckoo Orpingtons from Greenfire

Plus some our BO eggs and a couple of BW/W Ameraucana eggs to finish off the space left in the turner.
