I remember seeing your hatching 'team', lol... they are really gorgeous... I still only have the single hen... she has a mixed color son of hers in with her now... he's pretty, but not LB... :/

You just need to find a roo. Too bad you don't live closer, because I had several I let go last year.

A couple pullets would be nice too...

Quote: Exactly. I wish I had the time, but unfortunately I've pretty much gotten out of OGEBs. They are my last. I do have to say the offspring from them already look better. The pullet is much more compact than the hens, and is smaller.

It would be a project, for sure. It would take some time, but it's definitely doable.

Locked down 12 eggs tonight. 4 Cream Legbars, 2 Easter Eggers, 1 Olive Egger, 2 Golden Sebrights, 2 Black and 1 Lemon Blue OEGB. Everyone was alive and well when going in.

I think I'm going to like this Incuview incubator. I love the more natural turning motion. Temp is extremely consistent. I'm learning to tweak the humidity, but it was stable if I added a little water occasionally. Air cell development varied in the eggs, even though I rotated them frequently. I also gave the eggs a full turn twice daily. Temp and humidity rebounds quickly after closing the incubator up.

Anyway, cross your fingers for me. Would be ecstatic to hatch one of the little blacks. I didn't hatch a single one last year, but my broodies gave me a nice cockerel.

Pics of my hens, which 4/10 eggs were laid by, all fathered by the roo at bottom:

2 of the eggs were from a black and brown roo and oreo colored hens, no pics, and the remaining 4 were from about the same colors as my hens but fathered by an OEGB roo. (My hens came from the same guy I got the eggs from)
No pics of the silkie x yet, but they all have black skin, 5 toes... But a slight chipmunk pattern!
