I think it's an Orpington hen with a Ayam Cemani rooster. That's just my best guess based on my knowledge of the sellers flock.
Too Early for Feb Hatch-A-Long Thread??

Can't wait to see how it grows out!
So cute! Looks like my Lavender Orpington did as a chick.
Opened up number 3 and saw a little bit of bleeding. But definitely still alive. Membrane was stuck to the baby so it wasn't having an easy time turning. So I opened up the air cell and will let it rest until the veins recede more.
I didn't hear anything in the 4th egg but went ahead and made the air hole just in case.
That's what I thought it was when I saw it! I love lavender orpingtons. They're gorgeous!
I think the duckling is close. It made the pip bigger and it is peeping now. There are 3 other pips. I put 2 of the eggs in a day later so those aren't pipped yet.
I got one in a rare breed special from my pet chicken. She was $3. The catch is, I now want more and they're pretty pricey. They got me!
Barely squeezing these in in Feb: Runner duck eggs, Easter Eggers, and Black Copper Marans all "scheduled" to hatch Thurs/Fri of next week. I don't usually incubate duck and chicken eggs together, but decided to have the Runners and EEs share an incubator.
And I just set a bunch more BCM today. Might be time to get a second hatcher because staggered hatches are going to happen!

So much fun hatching ducklings! My first hatching experience was ducks. What breed do you have?
