Yup..they are beautiful

Mine even layed a little present while it was waiting in the box for us!

I also bought 2 black, bearded silkie pullets from Lilpeeps....sooo sweet. I'm in Silkie heaven!

I was also disappointed with the lack of Lg fowl birds...it seemed like banties ruled the show...and most of them...just not interested!

Course I think the real show stealer was Redhens puppy....

lol..nah..thats your job! if you want i can give it to you tomorrow...or...crack it now and tell you if its fertile or not...then you will have an idea about your egg...

 

[UrbanMama]

Either one...it's up to you

lol..i'm impatient..i cracked it!..and i really believe it was fertile! i tried to get pics of it(to show you)...but..i couldnt get rid of a glare on the egg yolk when i took the pic....

..so..anyways..i'd toss in any more eggs you get in the bator..because arent the hens fertile for a couple of weeks?...
