Nice... Looking like whites.

I have the incubator hatching some kind of easter eggers (blue egg breed).

All the games, I am letting the hens hatch. I take all but two or three from the mama. I keep the chicks in my new brood shed.

Have about 40 chicks at the moment (layers and games)

These two pullets bred to same cock. They came into lay on same day. First pullet came into lay three days sooner than the second. Both have same number of eggs under them. Second pullet busted and ate two eggs before she went broody. Nest boxes too deep.

Putting some game pullets through a little scientific rigor. My 8-year old son helped make the graph.

Chart above shows relationship between sequence eggs laid (Date Egg Laid) with Egg Weight (grams) in American Game Pullets hatched late last summer. This first time the pullets have laid eggs. It appears egg weight stabilized at roughly two weeks after first egg produced. The pattern differs markedly from Speckled Sussex pullets which produced eggs that started often considerably smaller than those produced by the games. This despite the Speckled Sussex pullets being about 1.5 lbs heavier.
