You take very good pictures.  They are beautifully marked birds.

I have finally managed to hatch some ebay welsummers 4 out of 6 hatched - sadly one got trapped against the side of the incubator and never got past the pip stage. but 3 beauties. I now have 8 recently hatched light sussex and 2 light sussex/welsummer crosses to add to the three new ones.
Gonna be fun integrating them all.

So Ebay eggs do work and my incubator isnt faulty - I just think sometimes the eggs just are not fertile on ebay.
If you cant beat 'em then at least bugger 'em about a bit.

Thank you Mammyshaz & Q

Must say I'm a tad addicted to seeing what's available on ebay  :-J

The eggs I bought were meant to be all Wyandottes, as you can see Marilyn isn't a Wyandotte! He's a very cheeky cockerel were thinking a light Sussex maybe, he's 3 times the size of the Wyandottes.
