Yes u do it's to keep the f'n Kelso off my head. He's A wicked bird. I have to move something out the big pens to put him and the hen in so I have some moving room in the spring.

Buff and wheaten would be the same right? I've been told ( hearsay) suppose to be wheaten but do throw wild type and to breed to the wheaten. I personally think people just rather the wheaten color. Pretty much all the hatch I've seen throw both

Ok how about light phase and dark phase lol. I see that they can come both ways and thank y'all very much. I can remember back in the early 80s a man I knew had them on his farm and I didn't remember any wild type or dark phase hens. Thanks again and the hens in the pictures are awesome.
 
I have eggs hatching tomorrow various breeds.one hatched yesterday two full days ahead of schedule. The difference with that egg,is it came from a game hen killed by a hawk. It was in the body a day or so before I cut it out. Could the body heat of that hen start the incubation process. Making it hatch 2 days early?

Cutting an egg out of a hen... wow that is some serious dedication to the preservation of that hens genetics. I have never even thought of doing something like that.

did the body shown signs of rigor mortis? did you leave the body outside or did you keep it somewhere warm? Unless the body was kept warm I couldnt imagine it getting hotter inside body after death. Unless the bacteria produced some kind of heat....
 
I'm sure. As the body started decomposing probably put out enough heat to start the process. Either way. Good idea incubating that egg.
