moved more eggs into the hatcher last night .
Golden boy = 30 eggs went in 1 infertile .
Big Blue = 6 eggs went in 1 infertile .

between this 2 hatch I ll have enough chicks to start a proper strain .
I will have some NN chicks coming along too to help me finish the project .

Golden boy chicks are the pritiest ,light and colourefull pattern . lighter legs colour .I like more than Big Blue chicks just Blue and Black with a darker feet .no a big fun of them .

I like the e+ and the eWh pattern with added Dark Brown gene . keeping the baring .
