WOOHOO First Buff Silkie egg UPDATE 3/30

That's great Sundown! I know how hard you've worked with your buffs! Especially after you got some with crooked beaks, etc. Congratz! Your hard work is paying off!

I put some of the buff eggs in the incubator 3 days ago, and I see veins today!!!! WOOHOO! The roosters must be doing their job.

I Have had the girls seperated with my best rooster for about a week now. Im not going to be collecting eggs for about 3 weeks, that way, I will know who the father is.

I will have to get an exact fertility rate when I candle them this wednesday.

After cooking the only two fertile buff eggs I had at pip time, I set another 8 eggs or so. I have one single buff egg developing at this time and due to hatch on the 7th! I'm getting ready to put more buff eggs in in the next few days. I'm hoping fertility will pick up with the warming temperatures. Right now it's about 1 in two dozen eggs....

The BBS birds on the other hand must have had lessons somewhere along the way... they are producing 100% fertility at the time.
