I hatched 27 LF Meridth chicks last week out of a order of 24.Wayne sent extras and is a great guy to deal with.I ordered black,wheaten,and white.I will try to post pics.I see no smokey chicks so the whites must be dominate white.That is fine by me as they are easier to weed out if you cross varieties for new blood.Which I sometimes do.

Those are tremendous results.   Were the eggs shipped?
Don\'t be surprised if you get some blue wheatens along with the wheatens, as Wayne has both.  Congratulations!  You must be doing something right with your incubation process too!

Congrats, Jerry - that\'s an awesome hatch!  I can\'t compete with that one, but want to add that the eggs I ordered from Wayne a few years ago yielded the best hatch rate I have ever gotten from shipped eggs.
