Yes, the eggs I am hatching now are his OE eggs. He packed beautifully, eggs arrived quickly, and he is VERY generous with xtras. Unfortunately the eggs had to travel from CA to Texas and that is a very long way. The brilliant workers at the USPS decided not to read the HUGE writing that said Hold at post office for customer pick up. I tracked the package, and of course being through this same scenerio before ran to the PO and tried to get it before it was on the delivery truck. (I also might add that in addition to all this I have a USPS account where I can request to hold the package at the PO, and of course I did that as well) I was too late of course. So the eggs traveled all day in yet another mail carriers truck.
Anyway long story short they had been through a lot, and I will be lucky if any hatch!
If they don't, so be it.
I already filed a claim because I was so mad about this once again.
I would love to be able to sex OE at hatch, however I think Papa's may just be too far away.
So I have been researching what to look for genetically speaking when searching for eggs.
As far as I understand, I need a solid colored rooster(BCM would be my choice), and a CCL hen for the barring and blue egg color for this to work. That of course would not give me autosexing, however I think it would give me sex-link chicks.
