ok, I checked all the eggs tonight, I have 5 light sussex due 6/2. 2? silkies, 2 marans, 4 columbian wyandottes due 6/14, and setting tonight- my final batch of 14 blr wyandottes, 6 white wyandottes and 2 bonus hoping white wyandottes, could be cochin x wyandotte.
maybe this explains why i had a 12 # wyandotte hen last winter in the coop- she was large and very heavy but not as large as what this guy I got the eggs from shows for wyandottes- those birds are huge!, made my hatchery brahmas look small.
these will be due 6/21. then the incubator is going off- I know I said that before, but truely is done.
I was able to buy a beautiful silkie at the show yesterday- really nice and a big white wyandotte hen. she's the same age as my oldest chicks and at least one size bigger then them. if nothing else, she will give my project birds size and very good type.
