Sorry I didn't post this list night. But last night I set my eggs. 22 in total. 8 Black and Blue Coppet Marans, 2 Olive Egger, 6 barnyard mixes, and 6 Blue Partridge Brahma eggs. I'm also going to put 4 Ohiki eggs in the Bator in 3 days so that they all hatch on the same day.

Thanks I thought so too but it turns out the breeder's flock has infectious Coryza, the NN Polish didn't make it and I had to cull my small flock of 9. She still breeds them but no way am I ever stepping foot there again.

That's no good! Hopefully you are starting over? Did she not know before you got it?

The main flock, last pics of our chickens

they look hungry lol

If I end up keeping a few of these bantam cochins, and a few of these silkies that I hatch, I will have broody after broody.  May have to let a couple have some babies for the summer.  Haven't had a mama and babies for a while.  Would be fun to see again. 
 I do have a white silkie cockeral out there with a black smooth SG.  Just waiting for both of them ..the pullet should be laying any min..and he's already starting to act like he wants to .. ahem..attack her.    

Here's a few I had a couple years ago. Unfortunately predators got some and my neighbor took the rest.

Hatched and were they the ones you took the color off.
