I will be setting some silkie eggs that are from when I went crazy Saturday morning and bought from "oldtimegator". The eggs were in the mail just a couple hours after I paypalled. I got them today.
Will be adding a few dutch eggs from the couple I have laying.
I have 2 Bantam Favorelle eggs from my Francine. I followed her for 4 hours yesterday in high humidity and 94 degree weather till she decided to lay. Luckily there was already 1 egg her hiding place.
Also a few of my bantam mutt eggs from my Peanut by Dot. They match and breed true. I guess I could call them my own 'special breed'. Peanut's grandmother is my avatar. I lost my precious Snickers 2 years ago. I have been saving these eggs. These were all I had intended to set till I saw the silkie auction. Might as well fill the King Suro up. I got a 85% hatchrate last time, but those were homegrown eggs.
Any hatchlings will go to a broody or 2. I have enough broodies on empty nests to raise a sportman full of eggs.
