July 2022 Hatch-A-Long

[FreedomFarm13]

Just candled. Looks like 5/10 lavenders are fertile, and 8/10 Marans that I could see. Had to toss one more silver tonight, so I'm down to 4 of those, and 6 each of the wheatens and bbs. Day 14 for the first batch and Day 5 for the others. We're getting there!

This is my first time with Dominique’s, and I can’t wait to have a flock of them! An endangered, truly American breed, with such a rich history.

I have one Dominique. She's got an excellent temperament.

6 out of 10 have hatched so far. And it looks like I did get at least 2 EE x silkie crosses so far. Black feathered feet with extra toes are kind of a dead giveaway. Haha. (Also I may have been up until nearly 2 am watching one hatch.)

I have a white silkie roo and a rainbow of EE hens, so I will just have to wait and see what colors I end up.

I have 12 Dominique eggs that I picked up locally from a breeder / shower here in Kansas. Got them going in the incubator at midnight on the 5th. Hatch date is the 26th. I candled on day 5, and 11 out of 12 were fertile, and growing!

Always such an exciting time. This is my first time with Dominique’s, and I can’t wait to have a flock of them! An endangered, truly American breed, with such a rich history.

Beautiful eggs. I love the little speckles. I didn’t realize their eggs looked like that.
