Right on welcome to the thread

I love the little EE I have. But, I have a trio; with beards and muffs. I don't have them mixed with anything so they are not autosexing...wish they were! My roo is my Avatar. We set 6 last time and 6 hatched. Hardest to see in the green shells tho so I have no idea who's hatching today. If they all hatch I am going to have to start selling some bc I will have way too many ! LOL

How do you like the Hedemora breed? They are supposed to be very cold hardy! Certainly look beautiful.

My Hona's are starting to PIP now!

I've only just started wading in the Hedemora pool of awesomeness but I feel a pull to it. I guess everyone has that one breed that just "speaks" to them even though I love all of my chickens for different reasons. The Hedemora did very well this winter when other breeds lost parts of their toes to frostbite. All of my males (multiple breeds) didn't have much for comb lost and the Hedemora had nearly nil. I'll keep an eye on them this summer when heat is more their bane. So far I've noted when my single woolly male overworks himself (i.e. running after girls) he quickly overheats and breathes squeaky. When he's caught his breath he's OK. So I'll have to work on that consideration.

How did your Svart Honas turn out? If I had my way they would be my next cold-ready type to try for!

2 poults hatched. The first has curled toes on one foot which I'll splint when I can safely handle it. A third is zipping now

Still only 2 hatched 2 more are unzipping as I type and one more has pipped. Now all I need is the other 4 to pip!

 

[Flammen223]

Now have 3 hatched and 2 pipped/begun to unzip. And 3 eggs just sitting there nothing yet with over a day to go before they were scheduled to hatch

[Flammen223]

Hmm. I am not sure. Mine were pipped 13hrs ago and only started zipping now. I suspect it'll be fine, just needs time?
