i wanna be a cowboy, baby ( HELL YEAH )
Figured I’d make another thread since the first one seemed like it had good reception and I’m still new to this. So, I’m using eggs from 3 different sources and using two different incubators. My NR 360 incubator — “Hatch Batch” — and my cousin’s old styrofoam still air incubator he last used in 2006...lol. As for the egg sources, i just received shipped eggs that I purchased from Meyer’s. I ordered 4 partridge cochin and 4 speckled sussex hatching eggs, but they discontinued the speckled sussex eggs and never got ahold of me let me knows this ( by the sounds of it, they didn’t tell anyone ) until the eggs were ready to ship out. So!! I got my 4 partridge cochin eggs and 4 assorted eggs. They were:
I already have Hatch Batch running with eggs from my flock in it because I’m impatient. All I’m waiting for now is for the shipped eggs to settle and to get the dozen of eggs from my cousin’s friend.

- Light brown leghorn. Kind of wish I didn’t get that, because, while I like my 4 white leghorn pullets, I prefer being able to pick up or pet my chickens without them acting like it’s their last moments on earth. Also, I ordered a light brown leghorn pullet from them that I’m picking up in April
- Black Australop. Yeah, not too happy about this one. I have two BA roosters and a hen already in my flock, so I could’ve just hatched out eggs from her if I wanted more BAs. Oh well.
- Welsummer. Definitely excited about this one. I don’t have any welsummers and I do think they’re pretty. I just hope it doesn’t end up being a cockerel
- Oliver Egger. Happy about this one too, I just hope it doesn’t end up being barred. I have too many barred chickens.
