White Cornish: Building a Quality, Sustainable Flock for Meat and More.....

I will be waiting patiently for sure. Gives me time to expand on the coop too.

Are they pure white?

Are they pure white?

They will be when full grown. Here’s three of my extra roosters for reference.

My first LF White hatched! The other chick in the background is one of my Darks.

A second has hatched as well! I think I might candle the 4 remaining white eggs tonight to see if any more may hatch.

Well. I think two Whites is all I'm getting. I candled the other eggs and they look dead. They either didn't finish forming or the air cell is HUGE. I think the reason I had such a bad hatch rate is because I had to move the incubator on day 2 because the heat went out in that part of my house. In the process, my egg cradles tipped and dumped the eggs 1/2" to the bottom of the incubator. I think I would have had a better hatch if that didn't happen.

Are you going to open the eggs to take a look?

Maybe tomorrow. Well see.
