Well, today I went in and checked my rack, and my prairie king had laid 23 eggs! I got her early this winter from a buddy who had had her since she was a hatchling, and never bred. I cycled her through and kept introducing her to two of my cal king males, one 5050 and one blizzard, but never saw a hook up. One of my assistants left her and the 5050 together all day, alone, so I am guessing that had to be it. Well, a few weeks ago, she quit eating and was barely a little big in the posterior, so on a hunch I gave her a lay box the other day, and walked in today to a bunch of eggs. I got nine eggs from one of my calis a few weeks ago, and they were quite a bit bigger than most of these, so I'm not sure. Not too familiar with Praries.



The eggs are pink and healthy, so I am hoping that some of them hatch out. No obvious sluggs. I have no idea what these will look like, but I know they won't be too colorful. Basically, they were a "what if?" project. Next year, I was going to try to pair her with one of my Brooksis.



I'll post pics if I get em.
