Any Eggs in Incubators out there for the New Year?
faith valley:
We are only hatching bantam wheaten and blue wheaten this year- our first hatch went into the brooder yesteday. It is fun to have the chicks out already.

I set about 120 eggs January 5th, mainly for the local 4-H project members. I won\'t set any for myself until March. Too bad, as they have been laying great. Every single pen has produced eggs since mid December, and we had some miserable cold weather before Christmas. It seemed to help when I changed from 40 to 100 watt bulbs in the coop. I have three bulbs for a 30 foot by 16 foot building.
Suz:
Hey,

I just put my fisrt hatch in the incubators this evening. 312 eggs total. About a dozen are Vorwerk (they only come in bantams) and the rest were Ameraucanas (some would say some are Easter Eggers, but that\'s another topic).
I have two pens setup for lavenders. The F1 breeders are all 1/2 black Ameraucana. One has has a 1/2 d\'Anver cockerel (100% black w/no red/gold) over two 1/2 OE pullets (M. Muenks\' breeding). The other pen has a 1/2 OE cockerel (w/a pea/single comb, M. Muenks\' breeding again) over 5 very nice 1/2 d\'Anver pullets.
In three weeks I should have some news to report.
