    Are Speckled eggs harder to hatch?

    Are speckled eggs harder to hatch? I have Orpingtons. The Blue and Splash eggs are smooth and hatch readily. The Black Laced Silver have various levels of speckling and I do not get as good a hatch rate with them. And the more heavily speckled ones (from one hen) develop but never seem to pip...

    Is my Blue Orpington actually Lavender, with the shredder gene?

    Hi all, I have a blue Orpington, Indie, that was purchased from a feed store on 4/21 as a day old blue orpington pullet. From the first day I’ve noticed her wings seem a bit odd, now as they are getting feathers, they naturally tuck under and seem disheveled. Is she actually lavender and this is...
