St. Patty's Day Green Egg Hatch

[BHep]

Do olive egg chicks lay olive eggs? I have 3 OEs in the bator, but I'm really thinking about the Barred Olive Eggers that I purchased on BYC.

Hoping for lots of healthy green chicks for us all. farmerChef, are you going to dye them? Is that what your earlier post means?? before or after hatching?? Tell us! Share your knowledge!!

Patty....yes they should lay varying shades of olive green. The eggs I sent you marked BOE are from hippoateall. I bought my eggs from her last year.

Oh that's funny! Your OE eggs are related to the OE eggs I'm getting for our birthday hatch!!! Small world, my husband says...

Candled all 8 of my green eggs yesterday and they are all developing well.
Nice little embryo and lots of blood vessels.

I've got some of the blue greens developing. I cannot see inside those OEs!!! They'll reveal themselves on hatch day, I guess. THe rest of my non-green eggs are doing okay, too.

edit: Did some more candling, -4, but there's still 65 in there..... some SLCs hatching 3/11ish, the rest are for St Patrick's day... sheesh.. I may need another incubator.

I was going to wait the 10 days before I candled but I CAN'T HANDLE IT! Going to candle today sometime... Keeping my fingers crossed! I love the little polish babies with their funky looking heads. We incubated some friends of ours eggs also, hoping these Easter Egger mixes are doing well for them too
