January Hatch-a-long 2018

[gimmie birdies]

here is yesterday on one of the eggs

My roosters really were not up to game, this one is fertile the others especially the ones you cannot see into are questionable. Boo!The temps have been great, I know it is just the roosters haven't caught the hens yet.

I pulled

unfertile eggs, then warmed up some others to go in the incubator with this egg. I he ends up being the only egg to hatch, I have a momma hen for him. here is the developing egg, and a grey egg I hope will be fertile.

These are 2 diff eggs. The gray egg is from my Lavender frizzle, mixed with a LO

Oh how i'd love to join~ I just bought an incubator that holds about 112 eggs which i'm supper excited for. I'm a newbie breeder and just bought a whole lotta poultry to breed..
I plan on hatching out some Guinea keets, Grey call ducks, And some Easters eggers and Barred rocks to sell this year.. I also plan on hatching out some turkeys and Red golden Pheasants once they start laying.. As for January I think I might just hatch about a dozen or two of some barred rocks.... Aand maybe some grey calls if they start laying.

Wow, that is alot, I jumped the gun on my young LO roosters, but I am excited.

LO = Lavender Orpington right? I love that breed to death! I have yet to obtain anything lavender except for my guineas... I guess I have a weak spot for lavender anything.

I have, blue Isbars and Lavender Orpingtons. I also have a lavender Frizzle, see my avatar? The developing egg is both BI and LO, I think will take after LO though.
