I went to a farm and collected the eggs myself from different pens the lady had set up, because I couldn't wait to try out the bator. So I took what she had available which was not so great quality Marans, 1 Olive Egger (I really hope that one hatches), and Buff Orps in with a Black Orp roo. The Buff Orp pen had the largest rooster I have ever seen in my life. It actually scared me, I asked if he was a normal Black Orp (that thing looked like a black lab). Maybe that's reaching a bit, but you get the idea. She said no, and that he was a Ukranian strain, which I would know nothing about, but let me tell you if one of those chicks hatch black, I'm keeping it. For sure a conversation piece.
I did order Marans eggs off of here from CRFarms, but the box was damaged in transport, so we'll see.
