I'll get pics. Half my clutch grew up with bad beaks that looks like they had a dodgeball chucked at their mouth.

So crappy genetics. And Silkies. Gross. lol

I'm sorry but that is too funny Why? Is that a silkie thing?

No, it’s an inbred thing. Lol

Oh, Colt, what colors are your araucanas? I know you said the barred didn't have any eggs in the batch you sent, but I can't remember the other color you have

Mostly black with various amounts of gold leakage. It’s possible the cuckoo male was breeding but I doubt it. He’s about a third of the size of the larger male. I’ve produced cuckoo, wheaten, salmon, and red babies in addition to the black.

Oh awesome. My current tufted male is black with gold, and I'm just not a fan of his personality. He's a bully in the bachelor pen and I worry he wouldn't be much better with only ladies.

Candled 6 of the eggs before humidity went too low. 1 looked okayish (I couldn't find the air sac, but it didn't dhow rupture bubbles either), but the other 5 were very saddled. I'm thinking that the rest will be similar

Keep the eggs in the egg carton in the incubator for 3 days, don't move them. Then have the eggs on its side and rotated for the rest of the incubation.

Mine are both well-behaved.

Ughhhh. That's annoying. Hopefully, you get a decent hatch rate out of them.

That's good. Mine isn't human aggressive, he just is a bully to the other males, and so far my bullies in the bachelor pen tend to also be rough breeders in my experience. Especially if I have One Leg in the pen I wanted her in, I can't have a rough breeder.

Ughhhh. That's annoying. Hopefully, you get a decent hatch rate out of them.

I'll check the others tonight after dark, I don't have the turner going for now to give them a bit of time to stabilize, plus apparently I need to move them upright, so I'll be messing woth them anyways

Jaws, I just ran the assumed mix Araucana pullet through the calculator. If her father was the Cuckoo double tufted male and he bred a Chocolate Orpington bantam, then she's split Chocolate. So if I can sort out egg color there might be some Chocolate/Chocolate Cuckoo ones down the line.

And I will be your first customer when/if that succeeds
