Three weeks ago I hatched some eggs from speckledhen. Right after they hatched I decided to put some of my eggs in the bator to see if they were fertile and if they would grow. I have 33 hens in one pen with one rooster. So, I collected 24 eggs that I knew were different. The male is a top hat mutt and the hens are RIR's, BR's, Rhode Island Whites, and some Ideal 236 white egg layers and top hat mutts. So, I got eggs from each one. (I can tell because the tophats lay a certain tan color, then there are darker brown, light brown and white.
Well, I kind of spaced out the days and have not really paid attention to them. The day before yesterday I finally thought I should candle the eggs. 21 are growing and it was day 17. Now day 19 started at 1pm today. What in the world am I going to do with all of these mutts? Has anyone advertised mutts on craigs list and more importantly, did you find anyone that wanted them?
Talk about getting bit by the hatching bug!!!
