They were all Faverolles and Leghorns but Frank slipped one of his hens eggs under her in the quiet. The mix egg would be Leghorn X Light Sussex. The color of the eggs were fairly similar so I'm not quite sure which it is but I'm really hoping the surviving brown is from my Faverolle pair.

Just been out to check, the shell has a small piece missing and there is a lot of shouting going on (must be a boy). The leghorn chick has started chriping now. I CAN'T SLEEP, ITS JUST LIKE SANTA COMMING. I think I will have a cup of tea. It's very lonley in here when you are all in bed. Wake up everyone, it's morning look the sun is shining (well nearly morning anyway) Back to top George Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 5661 Location: London Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2005 6:33 am    Post subject: It's quite worrying this early morning trip to the coop!

I've never hatched eggs myself, I think I'm missing out on a lot of excitement, but i think you're missing out on a lot of sleep Let us know what happens Nigel Back to top Gina Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 471 Location: Kent Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2005 7:27 am    Post subject: Thought I was early for a Saturday but you lot beat me too it!
