All Orp eggs and all over 2.5 oz. The long one is a pullet GLO

Delisha, this is a stupid question, but...do the chicks from the large eggs turn out to be big as adults as well? Stands to reason, but I was curious.

The two in the middle, in the first picture, both look like Gold Laced chicks

One of my BO just started laying I've got two eggs from her now and both were double yokes! First time I've got double yokes.

That happens sometimes with new pullets.... some settle down in to a single yoke egg as time goes by. I have had them.. but never tried to hatch any.

Has anyone hatched a double or a triple yoke? Do they live? Are they smaller as adults?

Ok, thanks Renie. I hope she keeps it up its nice getting those double yokes. Makes me want to hatch a few. But not if they have trouble. Plus I have enough chicks to find homes for right now.

I think there is some info about it on here... Some have done it... but I don't have the heart to even try it.

Fermented feed really puts some serious size on eggs

Haven't tried the fermented feed.. but have heard some good stuff about it. Are you making it yourself??? Did you have to get a starter culture or where you able to do it yourself? Congrats on the new eggs.... Hope you get some nice chicks ")

morning! More pullet/roo colour questions? these are my 6/7 week old supposed silver laced Orpington chicks. one looks like a silver laced too me and possibly a girl, 2 are a gorgeous violet laced ?? But I suspect they're cockerels

and a blue?? mix of brown and blue?? definitely a pullet

any ideas from these terrible photos??

you have 2 silver laced cockerels...the mostly black one is probably a silver laced too but just a lesser quality silver laced..it is a cockerel also...the blueish one with the gold on its neck, it just looks like a blue with gold leakage on its neck or it could be a project color..it is a pullet!

This pullet seems to be my only option towards SOP. She has the most shank showing and the closest tail angle. Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated. I hesitate because she is small. The baby next to her is a month younger and already much bigger. The baby might be a candidate also, but she has poor wing carriage on on her left side.

I know we aren't suppose to be talking about standards. If these questions need to be somewhere else, I can post them in another thread. Someone just point me in the right direction.

If it were me, I'd keep the "mostly black" one and continue to watch it. Not sure if it works the same way with the Silver Laced as it does with the Gold Laced, but my best GL, at times, show very little lacing and are mostly black at this age when they are cockerels. Then, low and behold, they lace up beautifuly. The pullets don't seem to do this. Not sure if this is just in my two lines or if it only applies to the GL. There is a member of another thread, Boykin, that would know. He has beautiful adult Silver Laced and can help perhaps.
