Young Lavenders

[Shannon bo]

I've got 5 month old Lavenders, Two breeding pairs of the same age. Eggs are the same size as the silkies eggs. But they appear fertilized. Can I attempt a hatch or should I wait until they are normal sized?

You can hatch those, but new laying hens' eggs to tend to less likely to be fertile.

So it's worth a shot. I'll see what happens. Not like they're a huge egg for eating anyway lol. Thank you

I just started my flock this summer, but I do plan on selling by spring.

Are you talking Lavender Orpingtons? My girls are over a year old and their eggs are still much smaller than I expected. The girls are physically bigger than my golden comets, but the comets lay much bigger eggs. Heck, my bantam cochins lay bigger eggs than most of my LO's.

Yes lav Orpingtons. I'm going to try a hatch with what I've collected and see. Gorgeous birds

Just to get you more excited!

These are the last 3 that I hatched in my incubator


And I had a surprising broody this summer and she hatched these 2

That's what these ones looked like in March. Love it

@Shannon bo @WVduckchick
do you only have LO's?
are you covering your LO's w/a LO?
do either of you have Black O's.
how are you increasing your LO flock?
thanks
