Are your CCL egg's blue or green? I have a NN/CCLB hen here that lay's light green egg's. Her mother layed blue. She lay's bigger egg's and more than the mother did. I have a few of her egg's that will hatch on Saturday. My shipped egg's will hatch on Nov. 6th.

I am showing growth in 40 of 50 eggs, With 42 spots in the egg turner if the 10 not showing development does not show development soon I will no long have to turn them by hand.

Yes they are. I'm trying to hatch up a breeding flock of these as I like their looks, besides the blue eggs that is LOL

3 of the 18 came in green. and one was cracked. Looks like a hen pecked it to tell the truth. most of the eggs weigh in at 56 grams each. a couple more a couple less but on avg that is what they were weighing.

After removing the eggs that did not develop, I have 9 Silver Leghorns, 8 Seramas, 7 Ayam Cemanis, 7 Red Bird Dark Egg projects, 5 Red Leghorns, 2 Barred Leghorn Project birds, 2 Naked Necks.

I am going to end up with way too many Silver Leghorns, such a beautiful bird but not much meat on the all those extra Cockerels I will end up with. Half of my Red Leghorns were infertile but they just started laying. I could sure use more of those so the 5 I still have. I have plenty of Naked Necks already so only having 2 isn't going to be a big deal... 2 more to choose from for the next level of breeding. The barred Leghorn project is my attempt to see if I breed Production blacks (AKA California Grey) I can get the double barring genetics needed for a Barred version of leghorns, The Dark Egg Red Bird project is me selectively breeding my darkest eggs from my Red bird collection. I started out with Production Reds that had an unusually dark egg. They are darker than the eggs I get from my Marans and Pendesencas. I do have some Black Copper Maran pullets that are about 2 months old now and maybe they will lay even darker eggs. I might breed them into the red bird dark egg project too. I can Breed that pattern into Red and breed the offspring back to the Red Birds and anything that comes out red after that does not have anything under it according to the Chicken Pattern Calculator. OK I am Text Rambling so I will just post this up.. if anyone hasn't used it yet here is the Chicken Calculator.

love that chicken genetic calculator .it is not complete .
I use the Autossomal new verssion ,has more genes .like comb .leg colour etc.......
help a lot when trying to figure out the future pairing .
