Wish me luck!

those are really, REALLY gorgeous eggs! What breed is laying those beautiful blue ones for you?


Missyktsm,
Thanks, I liked the colors too.
I have no idea what laid these eggs (other than knowing they are chicken eggs), as I bought them at an exotic animal auction.
I have no idea who brought them to the sale.
In fact I did not even look at the eggs before I bought them, but I have less than $8 into the whole batch, so I figured it would be a grab bag hatch!

They are lovely - I do love a lucky dip hatch! We can all play guess the chick breeds when they arrive!!!!! I have only white eggs this time and I don;t know what they are either. What fun!!!!! Those green eggs are lovely too that one in the bottom Right is really olive coloured - you will sure have to keep us all updated and show us those chickies. I sure wanna see the one that comes from that egg and the lovely deep blue one middle row third in from the left! All you need now is a lovely Marans chocolate egg in there to make the set!

Oes - sure hope they hatch and you get hens laying those lovely blu/green eggs!!!!! I soooo want a blue/green egg layer!

They finally hatched. Not the best hatch. The Jaerhons were 90%, the Doms 50%, the orps White 75% the Lavenders only 1 of 8. They are cute though. All are new varietes or colors for me.

I am having a terrible time getting a picture to load. I will try again later.
Sorry.

Tomorrow is hatch day! I see nothing moving so far. Anxious to see how many we get. Only 1 out of 18 on my last (first) hatch. Ten in the bator now all looked good candling on day 14. Wish me luck!

I just set 13 Ameraucana eggs yesterday evening, so should have a hatch around May 23rd!! Learned some valuable humidity lessons on my first batch, so hoping for a better turnout this time.
Blue Eggs in the Bator!!!

Yes this happens a lot and most people flip out and start adjusting their temps.
