craftyhunnypie Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi - I candled my eggs last night. They are Cream legbar X Vorwerk. 8 days gone & all are fertile! Hooray! I'm really happy as I have seen what the outcome will look like. The lady I had the eggs from calls them her own special breed name - Smallwood Peaches. So, they will be due on 1st July - got to play the waiting game again now. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 They sound lovely - what an interesting cross! What colour eggs are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Sounds like a cool name for a breed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 The eggs in the incubator are a very very pale blue tinted colour - like duck eggs. I have been told that any females hatched could also lay blue eggs. But she also has some that lay beige eggs. I don't mind what they lay, they will still be pretty looking hens / cockerels. I suppose I could get one looking more like a vorwerk, than a cream legbar. Hers do look very cream legbar, but lots of buff & black sort of splash markings - gorgeous they are. I'll keep you up to date with photos for sure! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 I was offered a beautiful gold dutch bantam cockerel from her if I wanted him. He was beautiful. But I don't have any bantams yet & it would be unfair to have him wandering with my big girlies on his own. So I'm waiting for now - he's not going anywhere. My sister is collecting a pair of pekins from her soon ( a black cockerel & a lemon cuckoo hen) & the other dutch bantam cockerel. She is a good friend of my sisters & has some lovely hens & cockerels, ducks - oh & 2 llamas. I love going there & looking at everything running around!
