I (will) have LF Lemon Blue Cochins... I have a flock of Cream Legbars for sale. 4 hens & 1 cockerel. They just started to lay but have stopped since it got cold. :/ I'm asking $200 for all of them. They are wonderful birds, beautiful as well. I am just going in another direction.

I would buy them if I wasn't in South Africa!!

I love cream legbars!!!

I have read in some threads about stacking eggs on the turner, can any one tell me how to do this. I like to put a couple of extra eggs in to make up for any clears but remembering to turn them for the 7 days can be tough.

I have not heard of this either. If you get the information somewhere else, would you post a follow up here? I'd like to try that also. I do have egg turners but I think I'd be afraid of the temperature at a stacked egg's level. If you rotate/turn them by hand that wouldn't be such a problem.

I have heard of folks putting extra eggs on top of others but only for the first few days that they are NOT turning any of them, but I just saw a photo of extra eggs along the edge of the incubator between the turner and the wall.

the first Cochin that hatched this morning. 18 more eggs all started so it's going to be a long night with twin 5 yr old girls constantly watching the "warm box" to see if there are any birds out.

Well we now have 4 chicks out and dry and a few more well on their way to being totally out. Thank god the kids are at school so I don't have to play chick police all day.

Congrats on the new chicks so far.

You should try being chick police in a classroom while hatching!

Honestly, they're not so bad in a school setting. My own children have a more liberal interpretation of following the rules at home. Of course my daughter & I are the hatch-a-holics & get raccoon-eyed.
