January Hatch-a-long 2018

I moved all my eggs to touching on everyone's recommendation earlier. lol I read it in another thread. I noticed some strong movement on one of my ayam cemani eggs, so hopefully it will pip and zip tomorrow!

I think just depends on your breed, right? What breed are you hatching? Otherwise, if you're hatching one that can have 5 different variations, then you can't know which of the variations it will be until it hatches out. But, if you're hatching a white leghorn, or a bresse, then you will know that they will be a white chicken. I don't think it's a stupid question.

I could have a lot of different colors of silkies and even marans so I was just wondering.

I got eggs from eBay as well and I’m super surprised with how well these are! She added a heat pack and even insulated the box with metal foil! I loved the experience and had beautiful breeds. Let me know if you want her email and tell her scott sent you if you do!

I might be talking about another seller then. I've bought some so many ebay sellers it's ridiculous this month. My post office probably thinks I'm crazy. Or either thinks that I can't be bothered to eat eggs from the grocery store. LOL

I don't think so.. just the punnett square and the odds of what you'll get. I read a website that listed what you'd get if you plugged in what you were breeding together and it gave you all of the variations of the outcomes, but I forget where that website was.

I know with the silkies it could be splash blue black partridge white and even showgirls! I think one of the more brownish silkie eggs will be a showgirl. I’ve never had that so I’m excited. Also the marans are all black blue and splash. And my wyandottes I am hoping to be blue laced red.

I would love the Blue laced red wyandottes! I had one but a hawk got it.

Also I have a question going into lockdown in 7 days? I have my eggs pointy end down in egg cartons. When I go into lock down do I just leave them like that? Set them on their sides? Or what? Thank you

Nice! I've got some silkie eggs in the incubator so I'm super excited about those. I sincerely hope they are successful and hatch out. They are ones that I've been most excited about and will not ship out to anyone either my aunt or my sister! lol They are both wanting some of my chickens, and I want to keep my silkies! (If they ever hatch!)

Me too. My egg lady did have a silver laced wyandotte in the breeding pen too but that was eight days before the egg was laid and the other roo is blue laced and has been with the ladies for eight to nine days. I know a hen can retain sperm so that’s against my luck and also the blue doesn’t always breed true so that’s against me too. Hopefully the stars align and I get one. She threw them in for free so I thought might as well lol.
