daxigirl Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I've succumbed the incubator has gone on. Came home with blue mottled orpingtons, welsummers, unknown colour pekins and then filled any spaces with some of my lots eggs (Japanese, Japanese X). All bantams, I do luffs them chickies, well till they get to 3 weeks and flick poop everywhere then they lose their charms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daxigirl Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 They're still eggs my love. 17 days to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxigirl Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Candled the eggs and chucked 8 of the orps and 1 welsummer out as blanks or ring of death. The ones from my guys were all developing (well done Sushi & Tonto) as were all the unknown coloured pekins, hope they're nice not just plain.

Cat tails Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Unknow coloured pekin eggs... Sound like the ultimate easter eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxigirl Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 It can be so annoying, when people aren't specific, although I'm treating these as a nice surprise, mind you I've bought eggs in the past and they've been something totally different. They came from the farmers market and the duck eggs, goose eggs and turkey eggs were just labelled that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxigirl Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 So far there are what appears to be 3 Japs and a JapXsomething. So diddy, luffs them chickies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi5 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Ah cute fluffies I can only dream here The pekins are a bit broody- fluffed up and clucky, I thought time to get this show on the road! So, I got out my pot eggs and put them in the next box.......they've added to them 2 days in a row, but neither willing to sit Many more to hatch? How about your "mystery/surprise" pekins??
