Any idea what color the babies will be? They should hatch in about 23 days right?

Also the Clear Head Clear Tail mutations maintains the depth of colour of the Normal bird and isnt lighter like in your bird. You will notice if your chicks hatch that they will be darker than the Hen. If you get any Blues in the nest then she must be split blue.
She could lay more eggs, 4 would be average but 3 or 5 is not uncommon.
The first chicks should hatch about 29 or 30 days after the first egg was laid.
