30 eggs in the incubator. You can think of them as either BYM or F1 / F2 olive eggers.

The hens are either olive eggers or cream legbars. The roosters are blue cuckoo maran, blue copper maran, or olive egger.

They went in last night, and I'm hoping for a hatch rate like I had in the fall: 18 eggs in on day 1, 100% fertility and 16 hatching in the end.

Best wishes for a very successful hatch!! :jumpy
 
First candling, 1 week in. Most are developing nicely.

29 left. They're numbered left to right, top to bottom.

The blue eggs are cream and silver legbar hens, the greens are olive eggers, and the brown ones should me my "failed" olive eggers.

Feel free to pick ones to root for. ;)
