Shipped older eggs + colder than optimal storage temps...

Cool, thanks!
So far I've got veins in over a doz of them. I'm excited to see what breed mixes I've got. I loved and wanted a few frizzle and silkie chickens forever. I hear they can be quite broody.

this is George. He is so sweet. He does look much better in person. Annie is outside. I will go get a pic of her. She is a frizzle

I also have silkies. They are about 7 months old but not laying yet

My eggs just went into lockdown-12-15 still seem viable. Already have a few cheepers. So excited.
I love your frizzles. What breed do you think George is? He's nice looking.

 

[latenighter]

Our best guess is a Sebright cross based off of the possible breeds. We aren't really sure. Is coloring doesn't match for a sebright.

Two just hatched out a bit early! They are feather footed. Weren't supposed to hatch until thursday... Guess they were growing fast & happily in the new incubator.

 

[latenighter]

Sweet! Now that I think about it mine also hatched eary

 

[LinaNate]

Did you have any posthatch losses?

 

[latenighter]

I don't remember. I was doing staggered hatches with other eggs at that time. I wasn't having good hatch rates and I did lose a couple after hatch, but don't remember if they were these eggs.
