Incubator 2 - The candling results

Have just candled incubator 2 on day 5 (day 4 for the serama) and all our home laid eggs are fertile with the exception of 1 buff Pekin and all the cuckoo Pekin, have a new cuckoo cockerel now, so hopefully things will improve again, we have some hatched from the last cockerel, also some in incubator1 due to hatch on Sunday, so no idea what went on there?. Not sure about the crele Pekin eggs, they're quite mottled, so very hard to tell, have kept them in for a few more days. 4 of the 6 Dutch eggs are fertile, which is not bad for ebay egg, both Sebrights are fertile and atleast 8 of the Serama eggs.

With the weather drying out the garden over the last few days, I've finally managed to mow the lawn...Something I'd been hoping to do for the last few weeks!, not really much chicken stuff today, just tidying up a bit. We did however have an egg from our millifluer Pekin girls :)
