Yes, I would hatch for you but do you more roos to deal with? Remember, God sends them in pairs and often a few girls stay back to giggle and chat and more boys show up without partners. Such is the luck of hatching. We could only wish for more girls than boys but it usually evens out somehow.
And yes, if he is doing the deed then he can be a dad. I collect eggs for about a week, keep them in a cool place out of direct sunlight and tilt the carton twice a day. Sometimes I forget and they still do fine. Always store pointy end down. That's it. Easy peasy!
I have so many broody hens it is unreal! But I let them do their thang. There are not as many in the free range laying flock as there once was so now others are back to laying in those nests but the Sizzles, Cochins and a few Marans are going broody in their pens, Silkies still are broody (when are they not?) and 2 Muscovy are on eggs, due to hatch tomorrow!
Glad to hear PumPum is recovering. It can be so hard to love and own chickens. It sounds like you are doing all you can.
I have my fingers crossed that these few eggs hatch friends out for PumPum!
And yes! Those eggs went for a lot! But that is a color that isn't seen very often and is dazzling! The birds RedBug was talking about sounded awesome, too! Those colors are just so pretty. That is kinda what I was shooting for with these eggs. Wish more had made it. I had 5 people inquire after the chicks long before they ever hatched.
Joy! I think we need some Polish babies! Got eggs?
I have white crested black polish eggs available whenever you want them.
