I have some Turken peeps that have hatched out. They will be nice size chickens and so far my hens are still laying even in this hinkie weather we keep having. I even have a new layer. We have some peeps from green eggs, and some from teracota colored eggs as well.(ee peeps) Some silkies have hatched out. all of these new b's will be around 9 days old by the time of swap we have more due out all the way up until the 14th so, we should have some ducklings.

Does anyone have any splash Jersey Giant eggs?

i bought some and have them in the bator at a friends because i lost my patience.
BUT i have a blue roo over black hens. the eggs look fertile when cracked. first batch didn't grow, have batch 2 and 3 in there now. ladybug4u is bating them for me. she can't understand why the first batch didn't grow, but we're trying. if batch 2 or 3 starts, i can bring you some. i get 1 egg a day out of 2 hens (which tells me that hen 2 has a hiding space i dont know about yet) thinking of making them their own pen so they cant hide eggs on me instead of letting them free range

What does blue over black get?

 

[floridamama]

I think ususally means you will have 75% blue with a chance of splash peeps. Not to sure about that but i think its something along those lines.

Blue X Blue = 50% Blue . 25% Black , 25% Splash
Blue X Splash = 50% Blue , 50% Splash
Blue X Black = 50% Blue, 50% Black
Splash X Black = 100% Blue
Black X Black = 100% Black
Splash X Splash = 100% Splash

See knew somebody would know about the color gene thing

LOL, thanks. I really want blues and blue splash. Not really black, since I have 3 blacks already.
