The silver chicks looks neat.

Moony, do you want me to candle tonight? It will be day 3ish (maybe 4 depending on that one egg), so I should be able to see hearts in these since they're white. Or I can just wait until friday..

You can wait.

Waiting on the new incubator to get here!

I've been meaning to ask, Moony have you had any luck with your chocolate projects? I remember you talking about branching back into chocolate but haven't seen anything mentioned in a while.

What did you get?

The Brinsea Ovation 56 EX. It dropped almost 100$ on Amazon while in my cart. So I went through with purchasing it. Should be here tonight. Then to set up in my room and make sure it working.

Not yet. I have some chicks on order that are supposed to be delivered the 3rd or 6th or something of June, I think. I should probably check, lol.
So I won't be doing anything until next spring and since they're Orpingtons it'll take me a few generations to get all the other genes sorted out.
I'd expect it'll be 4 or 5 years before I could call them chocolate Leghorns.

Any suggestions on which way to take them? Solid chocolate? Barred, mottled, duckwing of some variety? Get crazy ..... chocolate tailed buffs?
