My White Brown Egg Layer Project--Watch For Update

Quote:
Total 27

9 Easter Eggers
18 Project= White Plymouth Rock Rooster x Red/Golden Sex Link (from Ideal). Still trying to find a camera to taker pictures.
 
Just pulled 34 out of the hatcher yesterday 9-22-2011. Set 39 eggs. Just a little better than 87%.
These were 21 White Rocks and 13 Easter Eggers. The White Rocks are to help with my project. White (color) brown egg layer.
 
This project went down the toilet.

Couldn't keep the hens from dying.

I do have 1 hen left, she's in with my EE rooster.
 
What happened to them!?
Not really sure out of 9 hens I had four that grew to laying age. I was trying to give them a little time to lay then was going to start gathering eggs to set. By ther time I asready to start collecting eggs I was down to 2. Discouraged I gave them away, then when he (my dad) was ready to get rid of them I decided to get the only one left back. So now I'm going to try to raise some EE's off her. Her eggs are starting to be a little wrinkled, not all yet but quite a few. I'm going to try to set really soon.
