My Silver Lave Wyandotte Hen and Cockerel |
I have fired up the incubator again, all seems to be working well. I'm gave the eggs 24 hours to settle after coming through the post. Mark at Norfolk Bantams has kindly sorted me some eggs. Last time I had 100% hatch rate. So I am excited to see the results this time round.
I candelled the eggs on Sunday 16th June and there were 12 fertile eggs. 6 silver lace and 6 lavender Araucana. I hope there is a good mixture of male and female in them.

This time I hope to be able to put a pair or trio together of both breeds. Doing it this way, from hatching eggs, is a long process, but fun. I'm certainly not going to be in a position to try and hatch any of my own eggs until next year. Something to look forward to I guess.

I still have one Silver Lave Wyandotte Cockerel for sale (Bantam) and in a few weeks the Lavender Bantam Araucana cockerels will be available too!
Thanks for reading and I will be back soon!
