Oh, good eye.
Bantam cochin cockerel

Well, one dad option is 1/2 bantam cochin and the other is 1/4 bantam cochins, so it's definitely probably got cochin bantam in it somewhere

Maybe or maybe it's a spontaneous mutation that only Jacin has.
It's like a Mystery chick.

I'm thinking it's out of one of my mixed males and maybe my Russian orloff. Just not sure since it's definitely blue and I'm not sure she could have blue chicks with a blue male since she barely has black on her

8 days left to hatch! I'm getting excited!
Also only two of the eggs are round, I hope I don't get only two pullets

 

[The Moonshiner]

How many are still going?

How many are still going?

22 I think? I candled the other day and had 9 clears and 10 quitters. I'm pretty sure so many quit at once because the power went out a few days before I candled.

Are all the rest square?

I just put 25/41 of my eggs on lockdown yesterday evening and will be taking a break from hatching more until I get back from AZ.

I’m glad to see I’m finally getting better fertility results though after trimming butt feathers.

Yep. Muffs and a pea comb too

I have one of those. She’s a broody machine! Her name is Cookie. The result of a little runt EE hen and a BC rooster. Kind of a between size. She lays green eggs.
