Mine go into lockdown on Wednesday. Hatch day is Saturday. Please say a little prayer for them, I lost my last batch entirely

the one in the pic has been my only one to hatch. Humidity was way to high in first batch and I only had 2 fertile ones to incubate that hatched this last weekend. One was malpositioned and came out all kinds of messed up. He didn't make it through the night.I told my cousin I needed one more barred rock so she gave me a dozen to hatch so one of my OE and 2 of my RIR eggs fell into the incubator with them.

@Saris genetics question. I have a blue copper marans roo and know what I will get with my CL, BCM, black australorp, and my Barred Rocks. But do you have any idea what I will get with my white leghorn, RIR, or this americauna

RIR - babes would be blue or black with the copper-red around their neck, hens would lay darker brown eggs.

White Leghorn - This is dominate white so all the babes would be white with some black spots maybe, they would grow up white though, the males may show red leakage on the wings. egg color would be lighter than other white layers mixed with a marans. The leghorn may be hiding other colors though, like barring or blue or black.

Ameraucana - babes could be black, blue, or splash with the copper around their necks possibly. Eggs would be olive from hens.

LOL When you find some chicken eggs you want, but your incubator is taken...

*sigh* I guess I'll just have to wait for another time lol!

*hugs sowwy.....

Thanks.I think I have egg coloring down pretty well since that is what I studied and wanted to really get into but just could wrapp my head around what those mixes. Would look like.

Have you been candling?

Yes I have been. I started with 12 and I'm down to 8. Everything looks good right now so hopefully they hatch this time

It's so hard when you lose them (hugs)
Hope this next hatch goes better
