eb is the genetic code for that color marker. One of these days when my mind gets rid of most of the crap I don't need to remember, I will try to memorize all the genetic codes for chickens but I still have codes from other species floating around in my head and have to use my genetics calculator to see what it stands for now.

with 1 started pair of Mille Fleur Cochins (from Josh Singleton), a gorgeous rooster from Bantyman, and a started pair from GA. (Tim Kerbo), coming this week and my trio from Lynne the beginning of Oct. I feel like I'm off to a good start on my MFC project!

I've got LOTS of photos on my blog and in the photos files of the MFC Yahoo Group (link is on my blog)

I got a dozen MFC eggs from Lynne. Three were clears, the rest are growing wonderfully! Can't wait, about 1 1/2 weeks left.

Hey, we can be Mille Fleur cochin hatching buddies. LOL Mine are due around the 28th! I am so excited...

 

[KinderKorner]

Yay! Awesome. Mine are due on the 2nd.

I can't wait. I also got 8 lemon blue cochin eggs hatching at the same time.

She very sweetly threw in the MFC eggs for free. Thinking fertility would be bad, but I got 9/13! haha. Yay. Thanks Lynne!

I look at everyones pictures and mope about not having any. I just got to remember I will have my very own very soon.

LOL I also have lemon blue...from Lynne but they won't be hatching until the 8th. I can't wait for both sets to hatch LOL (also have columbian from Msbear...due the 28th)

I've never hatched eggs (except with the help of the hen!) but suspect I willl be doing so with my millies...

I just visited with a friend who has an incubator and is hatching her first clutch of eggs. Only two have hatched (out of a dozen) and she's thinking fertility might be down because of the time of year. Would that have an impact? The eggs she's hatching are not mille fleur cochins. I told her once she gets all the 'kinks' worked out with her incubator I might let her hatch some eggs for me...

My girls are around 4 months old now. Will they ley eggs this winter or will I have to wait 'till Spring?
