I placed a group of eggs in the incubator in hopes of capturing some of the BCM rooster genes of the four roosters I culled to one of the HHS maintenance crew members. I placed approx. 14 eggs in the incubator.
The eggs began hatching on Saturday, June 5th, with the last egg hatching on June 10 on the 25th day of being in the incubator. A total of 11 eggs hatched! We lost the two brown egg chicks when they were placed in a hen box with a broody hen.
1 blue, 2 gray, 2 brown, 3 olive, 3 chocolate.
The Valencia Chicks were hatched in April. They have been out with the big guys for the past week. We currently have 1 white, 2 brownish orange, 2 black.
