@WLLady I tried several times with Frank and some green/olive egg ladies. EVery time they quit at the same stage. I guess some type of lethal gene. Anyway DH summed it all up "so it's a crap shoot!"

Your DH is not wrong! LOL

Re: Blue egg genetics

Too bad they quit at 7days, could be anything that caused that....that first 5-7 days seems to be a make-it/break-it point...along with about 15-16 days in my experience. Good luck with the hatching!

Re: Good Morning 2024
