now I see ronott1's post about hybrid vigor...

Every hybrid that I have hatched so far hatched early. The SG Dorking X Rocks, RIR, Marans and Australorp hatched two days early. The OEs from Deann(juststruttin) hatched a day early.

It is really weird to have pipped eggs on day 18.....

Quote: My F-1s are Marans x Ameraucana and Wheaten Ameraucana x Welsummer. The F-2s are F-1 x Marans, and those hatched just as quickly. My first batch of F-2s should start laying any day now, and I can't wait to see the egg color!

Some sex-linked OE I have been hatching this spring. Black Ameraucana over Golden Cuckoo Marans. Out of the first 11 hatched only 3 girls.
