My first egg was an americauna X red leghorn. Tell me the first egg you hatched.
 
I first got a Shamo/Thai gamefowl and thought it would be fun to get him a girlfriend which I eventually found one for him but she sadly passed away before I can get any offspring out of her because when I separated her, she wanted to get back to her man so she started acting crazy. I thought she was only pouting and will be over it in a few minutes so I left. Next morning I came to check on her and she was dead in the cage (probably due to a heart attack?). Anyway, I found another hen for him. Then came the eggs which I incubated successfully, and now they all grown up, about 3 years old I want to say.
 
My first attempt was with a turkey egg that I wasn't sure was even fertile, she hadn't been with the boys in a little while. I knew nothing about hatching and didn't even have an incubator. I'm sure you could guess, nothing hatched. Then, I tried chickens and only got one out of 7 eggs. Luckily she was a hen. I don't remember what breed the rooster was but her mom was barred rock. Eventually, I got better at hatching and tried guineas. I got 3 out of maybe 5. Then I hatched ducks and did really good with ducks, 3 out of 4. I'm hoping for turkeys this year! :fl
