@lindalouly I set 17 Ancona eggs on Saturday (pppssssstttt I already added it to you list so you don't have to

)

My hatch is all finished! I got 10 out of 11, and it looks like number 11 was not alive for at least a week when candled. I got 6 adorable white silkies and 4 Plymouth rock that are crossed with my any other rooster winner. They are all nice and healthy.

Then, I got to candle the rest of the eggs in the incubator. Had to throw out 27 because they were clear.

I bought a new Americauna show rooster, and payed a pretty penny for him, but it appears that he is infertile. I have seen him strut his rooster stuff, but I never saw him on top of a female even once. :-( This is the third batch of eggs that I've tried hatching from him. I don't know if I should call the people I got him from or not, but I need a new roo. They win many awards at national competitions for their Americaunas. I'm bummed because I have wasted so much time waiting to get some chicks from him. Oh well, I am thrilled to have my white silkies.

I moved the rooster and his two hens off to their own pen, just in case he is intimidated by the other hens in the pen, but I'm not real hopeful. He is so beautiful too. Bummer.
