Set the first part of my HAL batch tonight. Two ayam cemani, ten fibro frizzle cross (cemani based) and two leghorns. So 14 tonight, and the rest should be in on Saturday if the PO is kind to me.....

I want Cemanis so bad! Next year, next year.

I got mine from @cjwaldon. Packs them great and beautiful birds. The two pure cemani eggs i set are from her birds that I raised up over the winter. Hatched Labor Day and a consistent layer so far.

Next year I am getting some eggs from a friend whom is getting her Cemani eggs this year from cjwalden, so mine will come from cj in a roundabout way, she has gorgeous birds.

My leghorn eggs are massive as well and I've never gotten a double yolker.

Kinda wish I would though.

double yolked eggs are an egg laying fault. Something is off on the timing and the egg goes back up for the second yolk. It is not good for the hen. Usually they only lay a couple at the beginning of the egg cycle--when first laying eggs or after a molt.

They are nearly impossible to hatch chicks from too.

I kinda like the double yolkers for eating,always seem cool to crack them open in the pan, super cool.
But like ronott1 said, my leghorns laid them as pullet eggs and then as they got older stopped, I was worried if they kept it up they would blow themselves out lol! couldn't even close a egg carton on them they were so huge. And double yolkers are not very hatchable.

e EGGS ARE SET! e I only have a weenie little Brinsea so I set 7 total. I have 3 OE's, 1 FBCM, 2 Blue Splash Maran/FBCM cross, and a Blue Andalusian/FBCM cross. I don't know why, but I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for a cutie from my lone white egg! My flock laid these eggs so they didn't travel. Oldest egg was laid within the past 5 days, one OE was laid this morning. I know the FBCM egg looks enormous, but that's the size she consistently lays. I candled it and it's not a double yolker. Not sure how many I can keep, but I'll worry about that later!

Good luck!!!!!
