Hey y'all! No longer in Texas, but some of you said I was still welcome to post. [/URL] Hens:

Beautiful! White Leghorns with black feathers? Gorgeous!

I think they're White Leghorns, but I have no idea. They also may not be pure. They're just for eggs and meat, so we don't care haha.

Either Wyandottes or Delewares...maybe a mix...but not White Leghorns.

Cool front coming next week!! Yay!

I ended up with 15 chicks. There are 10 eggs still in the incubator that I'll be tossing - 10 chicks that are fully formed, no yolk left, but not one even pipped the inner membrane. What could have caused them all to quit at that point?

I think it is the heat, I had several do the same under live hens. I am ready for a cool snap. rg's

Columbian Wyandottes, too much black neck for a Delaware.

Like, it got too hot for them in the incubator? or not hot enough?

I don't know a lot about incubators, but in my situation I think it is the heat. The heavy humidity we have might lend something to it, I don't know.
