Illinois...

P.S. My two blue eggs have hatched on their own. Yeah! They are still wet so can't tell if one is blue or black but one is definitely splash.

Sweet! So happy for you! I am only at 3, I have someone that wanted the extra bantam cochins, ugg but if I keep 2 for myself, I can't send just 1 off with them. Oh well, I am so happy for you.

Thanks, I did have to end up helping 3 but it was worth it. Now still have to wait for the staggered Legbar eggs but I am not so worried about them. They were only a test hatch to figure out which one of my hens has the white sport genes.
 
No wonder you can't keep a rooster.

Oh, I am going to try again. I plan on keeping 3 roos to start, Lav Orp, Blue Orp and a BBMarans. Then I will have to eliminate constant crowers. I am also going to try the no crow collar. Already bought it and waiting for the first crow to begin. Hoping for at least 1 out of the bunch.

What about the SL Project Orpington eggs? When are they due?
I think I am done hatching chicks for this year:)

Isn't that what I said after the last hatch?

The Blue Laced Orp eggs are due on the 19th. Candled tonite and have 5 developing, 4 nicely and 1 is iffy. I ended up with 3 clears. He had sent the 2 extras so not so bad. They are huge eggs for Orps though.

LOL, And Yes you did say you were done after the last hatch. Well, I am right there with you. I probably won't be getting any chicks or eggs for 2 years. I think I am good for a while.
 
A pleasant update. Well Friday I lost 2 chickens to Rocky raccoon. Saturday evening Shannon shows up. I WAS SOO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED,. Picked her up and only seen a few broken feathers. She flew and escaped the jaws of doom. Must have been hiding in neighboring yard. Was MIA all Saturday until evening. I see this as a RAINBOW AFTER A STORM... I reserve MIRACLE for people related incidents.

Seems like you have some more sleepless nights. Good luck!
Those Blue Laced Orps sound fantastic, now I am jealous. You should certainly breed them to complete that project.
