That's right! But, I've got to check...how long can I store eggs before I put them in the bator? Is it one week? ETA: Yes, for best results, store no longer than one week.

And actually, I've stored my own for up to 10 days with not much, if any, ill effect on hatch rates...but yeah, a week to be safe.

Steve I actually get a green egg on occasion that is speckled with purple spots. No SGC I hadn't fed them blueberries but now you have me thinking of Maine blueberries.

Ok, I'm new to this but I'll be in too. Got some porcelain banty eggs, and some nice lemon/blue EE's.

Got a question tho - got rid of the banty roo - he got very mean), and now only have a regular sized fella. He's been covering the little one, but will the eggs hatch from such a weird cross? Hmm, got some gathered, may have to try some now.

Got 14 in the 'bator due on Saturday. May have some peafowl from a friend too, due next week. Lots going on.

I actually asked because I fed mine old blueberries this morning and had purple poo all over the coop as a nice surprise when I got home today.

'Tis a bit early for blueberry season here in Maine...

...but I do usually pick a couple buckets full and mail a few pints to my parents in Virginia each July... be happy to send you a few, as well.

Hey I remember this little lovely. She has eyes like a camel (that is meant as a compliment). I have never seen such beautiful and expressive eyes on a chick.
