Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

They are very great layers and because they are a land race they come in so many great color combo, they are amazing. They also come crested and uncrested.

Question- Mealworms. If you get in a couple of kits and they are all dead, is there a chance the eggs might hatch? Or should I just throw them all away?

Did you have the mealworms a while or did you receive them all dead? Did you have beetles?

If these are ones you had for a bit, had beetles then yes the eggs can and will hatch. I forgot about mine once and was going to through it out. Except the bottom started moving with tons of tiny mealworms.

Just got them in a mail today. Cut open the bag they were in and all of them are dead. Worms, beetles, pupa, everything.

Then you need to contact the seller. In that case, probably no.

We have crested and non crested

I got some of each, and the ones I've hatched from Bhep and Dahligrams are both also. They are really very pretty!

Not quite and egg in an egg, but close......

both shells are soft, but the outer is poorly formed.

it's squishy

only white inside first shell

one yolk. Was she trying to wrap her eggs for me? Something I will have to keep an eye on. If it happens again or we get more soft shells I may have to build some trap nests to find out who laid it. It could just be an oddity though as I haven't seen on like it before. Could be one coming into lay or getting done laying.

Be careful! SFH are addictive! They come in so many pretty colors and you never know what color is going to hatch. Two chicks that look the same at hatch can end up feathering out quite differently. I have decided I need to collect all the colors.

I have the reds, blacks, and splash that are laying now, and blues, chocolate and mille fleur in the younger birds. I have 12 in the main flock now, 6 ready to be added shortly, and a few more in the brooder. And I am getting eggs from at least 2 other breeders shortly. I am hooked! They are very friendly birds and excellent foragers. Mine are outside foraging everyday, regardless of the weather, so they eat much less than my birds that don't get out.
