I have Buff Orps mostly, 3 Barred Rock hens, silkies and EEers. I took eggs from 1 BR and 3 Buff Orp hens. Ones daddy is the silkie roo, which suprised me because I wasn't getting any fertilized eggs untill I got the BO roo. At the time I placed the eggs we also had 2 EE cockerels, but the were kept under coop arrest by the big BO roo, if they even come out of the coop he tears into them, inside the coop he tolerates them. All 4 eggs hatched and everyone is going good. I got a couple cute picks of all of them. Mamma is showing them the food.
