and some breeds left to hatch.

Here is an example, my incubator conked out Feb/Mar. so my LO hatch was not great, I had one boy and one girl hatch. the girl got her toe stuck on a string, panicked and died. I already have a couple of adult LO, 2 and 3 years old, so I did buy 2 straight run LO, that is all they had at North 40 prolly male. So I currently have 5 and a mystery chick that is LO or a grey meat bird, but that may be a male also. I am not going to try for any more LO hatching eggs even though I am watching them on Ebay. I have chicks being delivered in late June from Meyers I ordered last Feb. In that order is all female. 2 chicks are rare breed assortment, I am not going to hold my breath for an LO though. And that is only one breed.

Part of it is we want control of the egg...or is the egg telling us to hatch it?

One chick I wanted and have is a splash BLRW. I have only one. That started last year, a friend of mine over hatched and sold me her extra BLRW. One was a splash, and the others ended up boys so I rehomed them. The one I kept I named Splendor. She was so loving, but I lost her to a pop door accident. I ordered a BLRW from Meyer's and they sent me a look-a-like. I named her Splendor too. She is not the same hen though. But it is another breed I will think about next year.

each breed I have has been a thought out process. You know the story of my avatar frizzles, but at one point I was going to try and breed her and that never came about, but now I have 3 of her chicks.

Now you can breed them

I have 1 solid blue wyandotte, that I bought at a feed store, I had not gone to in 7 years because the lady was a cowboy grump, and prices were too high, but I bought 5 wyandottes from there 2 years ago, and decided to keep the 2 lightest ones, then recently one died for no reason. I have only one now, but not really planning on more.
