Im stalking you for Wheatens

I've got two orders to fill between now and June 11. And they are starting to slow down their laying. I don't know if I'll be able to fill any additional orders before fall.

I don't know why, but I've had more demand for Wheaten eggs than any other Marans all spring long.

But I'll have plenty later on. I not only hatched a bunch of my own Wheaten eggs, I also bought more hatching eggs, and bought more chicks from some well known show breeders. So I've got LOTS of Wheaten chicks I'm raising, and I'll have plenty of VERY good ones to sell hatching eggs from.

Are those ALL mine? I keep hatching some that look like CCL's..... strange.... I think the autosexing thing works in them too..... that brown striped one with a head spot is probably a roo..... the brown one is probably a pullet.... I wish I knew who was throwing that she must be what ever base the CCL's are.... I don't know the genetic name..... ER? I would toss her in with my project pen to help with vigor......

Yes, all from your eggs. A couple of the blacks have light dots on their heads. The 3 lighter colored ones are sbels; all the oe and the other 3 sbel are black. Not too concerned about feathers, its the egg color that matters for me.

the black with head spots are super blue egg layers too. The roo is a CCL so ALL the chicks are barred even the white ones. The Solid Black and blue are Olive Eggers.

What is a "super blue egg layer"?

It is usually a cross of a White Leghorn with a blue egg layer. WL are SUPER layers of BIG Eggs so when you cross them to get the blue eggs you get better blue egg layers so there for SUPER BLUE EGG LAYERS.

Ok! Yay! Finally I know the answer! Lol I've seen that several times, just never know what it meant.

I've had such wretched luck with the temperatures that I might have to replace all my SBELS. I had it in the new storeroom I bought and it's not insulated. Even with the A/C running it was 100 in there by noon yesterday and110 in the incubator. I cooled them down and brought them in the house. Candled and 6 are ok and 8 porous. I'll find out in a few days whether I totally cooked them.. BUT they were intact and no breaks so packaging was terrific. Just got the incubator so learning curve. They are fine in my bedroom 100 with 38 humidity.
