I may have to change the hatch date depending on what day the eggs I'll be ordering will be delivered on.
They're Malay hatching eggs if anybody was wondering.

A Malay rooster is actually a good one to have since they're hawk fighters, & very protective of their flock.

I don't have a Brahma rooster, so I don't know how well they do at spotting danger.

She seems like a silly bird.

I'm gonna guess that the chicks from this project will be white, with faded chipmunk pattern.
