Dropped a Hatching Egg?
I dropped a pretty egg a couple weeks ago and thought, what have I got to lose? I slathered it with Elmer’s glue and popped her in.
Here she is at Day 10, developing nicely.
Day 18,
and Day 21.
Also, what a great reminder of how much lighting alters the color of a photographed egg. If you are buying hatching eggs online, it’s best to make sure the pictures show the egg next to a club color card; the lighting will impact the egg and the color card in the same way so you can get a sense of true color.
My Wheaten/Blue Wheaten/Splash Ameraucanas are quickly becoming my favorite flock. They are such easy-keepers, sociable, gentle, and laying so well right now. I can’t recommend them highly enough; lovely in appearance and temperament and they weathered this winter’s cold snap with ease.
Wheaten/Blue Wheaten/Splash Ameraucanas are golden wheat colored with blue-grey trim and underfluff. They have the most adorable muffs and beards, lay blue eggs in the most gorgeous shades and are usually friendly sweet little birds.

I dropped a pretty Lavender Ameraucana hatching egg and it still hatched!!
