That's awesome! I've been getting one for the past couple of weeks.

I separated my OEGBs from my Golden Sebrights about a week ago. How long should I wait to hatch some of their eggs?? I did see both sets of boys mating both sets of girls before I separated them.

That's great!
I have 11 OEGB eggs in the bator, including 2 from my Jace... Fingers crossed they hatch... They all look pretty good as of day 8.

After my first week, I candled everything. Had 3 infertiles, from 3 different girls and all have laid other fertile eggs. Have 2 LF eggs that are veiny, but I don't see any movement. Eggs are darker shelled. All the OEGB I set that were fertile are viable, at least to this point, with embryos moving about. I added some black, white and lemon blue eggs yesterday. I use a separate hatcher and stagger my hatches until the laying really picks up.

This lemon blue hen always lays a tiny first egg.

Mine run from quail size to about a third larger than quail. Anyone have chicks yet?
