My first home bred hatch

[Chickiechick]

I've got home bred baby buttons !!!!!

It's so cool.
Several members said to not incubate the first weeks worth of eggs laid. They were right

I had 20 eggs the first week and 20 the second. I couldn't resist and popped all 40 in the bator together. They were all clearly dated.
First week eggs, hatch = 0 out of 20
Second week eggs, hatch = 15 out of 20
We'll see what the next 24 hours does with the remaining eggs.
Two of the 15 are whites, the rest look like a nice mix ( I'm still not great at baby button color ID )

4 more baby qualies

This time out of the first week group but the day 7 ones . Looks like we have another white too.
Fingers crossed I'm not having another episode of 'roosterbator'

What are you going to DO with all these buttons?

Seriously though

Genetics intrest me a lot so I'm going to play around with colors and see what we can do with them ( I know they are quite the genetic color mix but they reproduce quickly & easily. So a few generations down the road I may have some color traits with known backgrounds to improve upon. )
