Got cheeps and peeps in the incubator today, home laid Marans (blue/cuckoo/gold/silver genes in the mix), the darkest of my eggs were set. So far out, 1 splash, 2 blue, 1 black. These birds have not produced a non-cuckoo yet, so I'm anticipating all will be cuckoo.
The last batch gave me one of these:
(Gold Cuckoo Marans - guessing pullet since the roosters are the splits for gold)
And they've given me this handsome fella from the New Years Day hatchathon:
(Splash Cuckoo Marans - isn't he a hunk?)
My lavender ameraucana eggs are in the incubator, 2 dozen beauts, candled only 2 clears, none scrambled or detached air cells, great packing. Can't wait!
