Will be interesting to see what you end up with. Sounds like they might be a good production and disposition cross. For you more experienced breeders, does the male to female hatch ratio depend more on the rooster or equally btwn mom n dad? My orphingtons and australorps seem to average about 6 pullets to 5 roos in each hatch but my americana hens and auracana/blue copper maran rooster consistantly give me a 2 to 1 ratio of female to male. Breed trait? Great luck? I'm not sure but do know that ratios are remaining constant both in my hatches and the eggs I've shipped. My first year of incubating had the same lousy results as yours but then I bought a better incubator w fan and inside humidity control and turners. Now my results are consistantly excellent and if you really like the thought of hatching your own eggs you may want to think about upgrading your equipment and giving it another go. Theres no such thing as too much equipment.
