Isnt he a splash copper? If he were splash, he wouldnt have the brown on him, right?

Yes, he's a copper splash/splash copper. Sorry I should have said that.

So uh...who here would be a bit disappointed with a 79% fertility rate on local, same-day BC Marans eggs at $50/doz.?

My 24 are now down to 19.

Nobody should be. That's a pretty good fertility rate.

ETA: the eggs are busy hatching even as we speak. Wheaten eggs that I'm hatching for a friend, plus even more blue coppers, and if I'm a very good girl and cross my fingers just right, maaaaaaybe one DUCKWING Welsummer......

I'd be very happy. Some hens are very good at avoiding a roosters attention....

Good luck with the remaining 19!
