Eggs went in the incubator last night. Like a mother hen I am checking all the time to make sure they are ok and not getting too hot or cold. These are from our flock of Bantam Salmon Faverolles. I love this breed of chicken. Small enough to manage easily and economically, but still big enough to make a decent utility bird for both meat and eggs, quiet, good winter layers so we have eggs all year and pretty with their beard and muff, leg feathers and extra toes. Fingers crossed for some nice little peeps in 21 days!
