Doing my last hatches of the year.
First I have 3 silkie eggs, 3 store bought eggs from some local farmer, and 4 mixed breed bantam eggs. 10 eggs in total, due to hatch around 04.05 - 05.05. They're under my broody hen Okakley, so I'll be calling it Oakley's batch.
Second I have 6 silkie eggs and 2 frizzle mix eggs. 8 eggs in total, due to hatch on 08.05. They're under my broody hen Chrissy, meaning I'll be referring to it as Chrissy's batch.
Third I have 8 silkie eggs due on 17.05. This will be Smokey's batch.
Lastly in the incubator I have 9 store bought eggs from a bigger farm, (no idea if they're fertilized or not. Probably not.) and 2 brahma bantam mix eggs due on 17.05. as well.
And then I have 14 eggs given to me by my relatives to hatch for them from their backyard mutts. Possible fathers of those chicks are either their mutts or the 4 bantam roosters I've given them over the years. They're due around 18.05.
So the experimental eggs are the store bought ones and the ones given to me to hatch. No idea what will come out of them.
